Puerh teas are growing in popularity as they become known for their health qualities and fantastic flavour.
These cooked mini tuos an extremely balanced flavour, soothing and with a delicate sweetness reminiscent of Japanese plum.
These mini tuos are the perfect size to produce one pot of tea. Simply take one tuo per cup, infuse for 1 minute, reducing infusion time as tea unfurls fully. Pour away the first infusion after steeping for a few second in near-boiling water.
*Based on 1 tuo per serving, infused 5 times.
Appearance: Small compressed circular medallion of leaf with concave base. Leaf is a combination of rusty brown strands and darker peaty coloured leaf
Infusion: : A rich, clear and bright brown
Aroma: A very distinctive cooked puerh aroma following infusion, with hints of peat and tobacco sweetness
Taste: Harmonious, soothing and comforting richness with Japanese plum sweetness
Infuse: 1 tuo per 250ml; use near boiling water; infuse for 60 seconds; re-infuse 5-7 times reducing infusion time as tea unfurls fully

A tea newbie writes...
I've only rediscovered leaf teas in the last month or two after many years of tea bags and an expensive cappuccino habit, so these are the thoughts of an inexperienced drinker who dared to take the Puerh plunge. My only previous experience of Puerh was a loose leaf variety, which tasted good but smelled distinctly fishy, so it was somewhat gingerly that I decided to taste a more respectable one. This tea was delightfully presented in its little paper wrapper with a crane on it, and I followed the instructions as to rinsing and repeated short infusions. The taste as promised was rich and sweet and held up well to five steepings, but I am forced to acknowledge that I am not one of those who enjoys the cooked Puerh aroma; perhaps I am sensitive to some compounds (my loathing of coriander/cilantro knows no bounds, for example), but the aroma gets in the way of my enjoyment of the taste, which is really nice. I am giving it four stars nevertheless because even though cooked Puerh is not my cup of tea, I could tell the quality was greatly superior to my previous experience of the brand, in the smoothness of the taste.
