Pu erh Tea Yunnan China - Aged 9 Years - Pu Er Or Pu-erh Red Tea - Ripend Puh Er - Puer Fermented Tea 50g

I bought this tea to make Kombucha, going to the extent of buying a Pu erh SCOBY to keep the brew 'pure'. But as an avid tea drinker I couldn't not try it as a stand alone drink. Blimey, what a fantastic tea! I drink my tea black with no sugar and this is a dark tea. The aroma nearly put me off but gave it a go anyway. The taste is mellow, flavoursome and no tannin bitterness. A real treat. Would I buy it again? Most definitely. Is is worth the extra cost? I would say so. Did the Kombucha go to plan? Yes and will be starting another batch shortly...

I normally purchase the "normal" aged Pureh tea, which tastes lovely. I heard so much about this aged tea, I thought that I would give it a try. The taste is a bit more rich, but the smell was musty in its dried state. The tea leaves are a little more tough. (I know you don't eat the tea leaves once the tea is brewed- I have a nibble to "taste" the flavour) I would say that this is a nice strong flavoured tea, maybe not a one to have whenyou want to try as a first tasting. The "young" aged Pureh-ie 2 years old maybe a good starter. Then you can appreciate the sronger, earthy, full bodied intensity of the 9 year old .

Deserves 4.5 out of 5. This was an emergency holiday purchase (thank you Amazon Prime!). I am a regular drinker of Pu erh (most evenings) and I have a selection of beeng/cakes at home. I always take some with me whenever I go away. My wife and I were lucky to be able to get a week in an AirBnB rental this year in the Forest of Dean. When unpacking, I realised that I managed to forget my beloved pu erh... Imagine being on holiday and not being able to enjoy a pu erh session - disaster! Amazon Prime to the rescue - I ordered this 'non-cake' to keep me going and it arrived next day (thank you, Amazon!)... and it was better than I expected it to be - it was really enjoyable, though not as complex or rich as others I have, but far better than any other non-caked shu pu erh I have tried. This would make a great introduction to pu erh without spending out on a full cake.

A Doctor on U-Tube was talking about fermented foods as very beneficial for gut health. He mentioned this tea as being a fermented one. I also like the taste. I put 2 teaspoons in a tea leaf strainer and this makes several cups of tea.

As a Chinese person and a regular Pu Er tea drinker, I can tell you that this is very poor Pu Er tea. Pu Er tea has a distinct taste. But this tea has no taste at all. I have given it many tries. I have tried to use different quantities. Still, very little taste. I would have returned it if I could, but the problem with tea is that you don't know it's bad until you have actually tried it. Anyway, my advise is - DO NOT BUY.

Makes for a strong and delicious cup of tea! I used a single tablespoon of the tea in a teapot and found that it lasted three pots. The flavour stayed consistently strong for the first two pots, and then became much sweeter in flavour for the last pot. It might appear expensive for tea on the surface, but for the quality and for the amount of cups you can get out of a single tablespoon, I would say it is worth the extra. Will be buying again!

I have been a committed pu erh drinker for many, many years, having first discovered it in Malaysia. As I am no longer based in South-East Asia I am wholly reliant on Amazon to deliver pu erh to my door. Having sampled three or four different brands of the tea, I can confidently award the pu erh laurels to Valley Tea, principally for its distinctive earthy flavour, the richness of its aroma, and above all the superior quality of its leaves.

Definitely one of the better vendors of Pu erh tea on Amazon, I've tried a few and some of them are incredibly weak however this one is one of the best. It's deep it's earthy and it's strong if you let it brew long enough

Aspettavo con ansia di ricevere questo prodotto ed è veramente ottimo, inoltre è stata una piacevole sorpresa ricevere anche una mail di benvenuto dall'azienda produttrice di questo incredibile te. Immaginavo che il sapore non sarebbe stato molto gradevole (almeno per il mio palato), questi te hanno sempre un sapore intenso e un po' amaro e per una come me che ama i gusti dolci, è chiaro che non riscontri il mio gusto,però mi piace e mi fa sentire bene e questo è l'importante. Ho preso la busta da 50 gr. per poterlo provare ma sicuramente lo ordinerò di nuovo.

Ottimo l'aroma così come il gusto. Molto efficace visti gli effetti benefici che apporta e molto consistente. Con una minima quantità si riesce a farlo anche tre volte

„ Tea for two „ lecker!!

Habe diesen Tee heute bestellt, 5/5 Sterne für die schnelle Lieferung. Tee wie aus China, zwar nicht gepresst, steht jedoch auch in der Beschreibung. Ich empfehle den Tee nicht zu süßen. Besitzt ein typisch erdiges Aroma. Tipp zum zubereiten: 100 Grad heißes Wasser ( kochend ) über den Tee gießen und sofort wegschütten. Ich verwende eine Kanne mit Stahlsieb 450ml hierfür reichen 2 gehäufte Teelöffel. Danach wieder kochendes Wasser überschütten und nach Belieben 3-7 Minuten ziehen lassen. Tee schmeckt eher erdig als süßlich. Habe ihn selbst als ich in China gelebt habe zu lieben gelernt. 普洱茶 ist für mich persönlich die perfekte Alternative zum Kaffee.

Good flavour and price
