Three Pagodas - Puerh Tea in Bamboo Leaf Tube (80 Cups) Ripe Pu Erh Mini Cakes (7.1 Ounce) 200g Chinese Aged Shou Pressed Fermented Black Puer Cakes

This is a very good, drinkable Pu Erh for the money. Great earthy taste on the bottom, with no dirt. No fishy taste. Just slightly lacking in tea taste compared to expensive puerhs. I also get one less rinse out of this tea compared to more expensive puerhs. But this is very good for the money. I like it a lot. The one for $16.99 is slightly better, but not by much.

Maybe I am over - brewing this, but the flavor is strong in a REALLY good way! Will definitely order again.

Authentic tasting and beautifully packaged. Designed for gifting (vs. regular home use).I like this product. The taste resembles a mild form of the one from Vital Leaf in San Francisco, CA (my usual spot for tea, but this is half the price).Pros:Taste is very earthy with a semi-sweet finish (not bitter)Vibrant and woodsy aromaColor of tea is dark and denseProduct is tightly rolledAfter the initial quick rinse ("to awaken the tea"), the leaves unfurl and loosen easily.Well priced for the medium to mild taste (mild after 2nd cup and weak after 2+ cups)No tax charge on food itemsCons:Outer bamboo cover appeared to have mold (didn't look like dirt, won't be able to keep for storage).Only got about 2-4 good steeps before the taste was mild and weak (with different brewing methods: single brew 3-4min & gongfu-style 30-50sec, temp at 195F-200F).Hard to keep from going stale once it's open (have to find another container with breathing holes and darkness for storage). Losing it's beautiful aesthetic packaging.Packaging not designed for efficient daily re-use.

Doesnt taste like pu ehr. Tastes like black tea. One thing i noticed was that one time i left some in my french press for a few days (only tea, no sugar or cream) and it smelled putrid, very gross. other teas and even coffee, even after 5 - 6 days doesnt smell that bad.

I love the flavor of this product. Is stronger and better than the tea bags which I also bought. If you are looking for quality, this is it!

Great taste, but definitely rinse first. Found a long, black human hair in one of my discs. Ick.

Thank you

It's very dark, thick like coffee. The aroma is kind of smoky, earthy.I've been drinking this in the morning for the past few days instead of coffee and I don't miss coffee.I'm definitely going to order more.I will probably buy some for my taekwondo instructor also, because the packaging is really cool!All around excellent product in my opinion.
