pu-erh poe
based on 687 reviews
One of the five main types of tea (white, green, oolong and black being the others), pu erh tea stands apart with its uncommonly soft earthy flavor and woodsy tones. Unlike all other teas, pu erh (pronounced 'poo-err') is actually aged. The tea leaves go through a natural fermentation process before the tea is gently dried. This creates a cup with zero astringency and a deep, rich body. Pu erh is extraordinarily smooth and deeply refreshing. Our Pu erh Poe (the shou variety of pu erh) gives a clean, woodsy aroma, warm hay inside a barn, mushrooms and savory vegetables. Wilted flower notes and a faint dark chocolate texture. Mellow and grounding. If the flavor is too strong for you, simply dilute with water (which, interestingly, doesn't work for many other teas!) Pu erh is extremely versatile - you can steep it for as little as 30 seconds or 30 minutes, whatever pleases your palate. It won't get bitter and is great for multiple infusions.

Lore
With a heavy body and rounded edge so typical of Yunnan teas, Pu Erh Poe is a prime example of the shou (ripened) pu erh category. Aged for five years, redolent of just-tilled fertile soil, its flavor is intense yet, unlike other teas, it can take additional water to lessen the intensity without losing its particular taste or the ability to re-infuse. Pour on boiling water to cover the leaves, leave on for 45 seconds, then discard that liquid before steeping with freshly boiled water. Experiment with times to your taste. It cannot be over-steeped.Part of premium teas of China sampler
