LWXLJMJZC40pcs Cooked Original Flavor Ripe(shu) Puerh Tea Mini Cake-Yunnan Pu-erh Tea Mini Tuo With Classic Fabric Bag

I am new to chinese tea and the brewing methods so I wanted a cheap way to dip my toes into it before delving further and this little pack was a fabulous way to get to know all the various flavor profiles. The little pellets break down beautifully into whole leaves after the initial wash, and release their aromas by the first steep. I am able to pull about 8-9 steeps before the flavor begins to thin out.My favorite so far has been the glutinous rice ones so I'm happy that there are 6 of those vs just 3 in the packet, as it has a nice rich rice flavor that reminds me of japanese rice tea. My least favorite has been the raw pu erh one as it had an overwhelming grassy green tea bitter astringency to it. Maybe I need to use a lower temp, I still have 2 more pellets to play with. The rose one was my favorite in terms of smell, it was very floral and soothing, but the flavor was way too floral for my liking.Overall the tea has been excellent, not mind blowing, but delicious enough to entice me to look into ordering tea from china while I finish the rest of this sampler set. Having a different flavor to try everyday has been incredibly fun.

This tea is so good I think Uncle Iroh would violate his ethics to drink it.And you get a cool bag that will make a great dice bag!

The product arrived quickly and came in a nice fabric bag. The various flavors are interesting with the purple (peony flavor I think) is my favorite. The sellers are very response and promptly answered by question about ordering one of the styles of teas individually. I ended up ordering some pu ehr tea from them, which was also affordable and of qood quality.

I am an avid tea drinker. I am considered to be very knowledgeable on all facets of teas from around the world, tea ware, etc. it’s a passion of mine. These tuo cha disks are perfect little single use for my gaiwans. They’re so convenient. I now bring them to work with me. What blew me away the most, was the lavender ones!!! I’m in love!!! The flavor is amazing. I have been looking online to try and grab them in bulk, but can’t find just lavender tuo’s anywhere. I would love for this company to offer single flavors as well. Other than that, which is an easy added benefit for them, this tea variety sampler is an absolute winner! Every flavor is on point, true to its name/variety. Each tea has been processed correctly (no stale, moldy , or fishy hints). In my opinion, these are a great product, especially for this price. Thank you so much for putting these out there for everyone to enjoy!!!!

Have only had a few so can’t really comment on the taste - hence the middling rating - but decided to dump them all out to find & select tonight’s tea when I spotted bug holes nibbled through the Peach flavor wrapper. Further investigation found little dead beetles inside too. Tossed the other peach flavor as its wrapper was discolored and the brick inside was all broken up, but all the other pucks and their wrappers seem intact and ok. Just glad the bugs were dead (and the suspect pucks discarded before anything could hatch).

The overall strength of flavor on the sticky rice side is amazing, so delicious!

If you are considering buying this... DO IT ! I don't usually leave reviews but I have to.. always appreciate genuine tea reviews. I have been so skeptical of buying mini tuo cakes for cheap but couldn't resist at the price/flavors. Not very fragrant with whatever herbs/flavors are infused but gives a subtle aroma. I personally love the scent that is specific to these ripe pu ehr cakes. I can't get enough of them and crave cheat takeout just to drink this pu ehr after a delicious not so healthy meal (wings & rice 👌). My only problem is the raw cakes. There are only 2 but they seem to be stored too wet and are farr from aged enough. The raw glutinous rice smelled and tasted of raw pungent mushroom mycelium.. fishy and metallicy even. But they can easily be saved to age over the years. Overall so worth it I just ordered a second pack and it's only been about a month since I first tried. Gonna order some glutinous rice and ginseng 40 packs very soon. I'm hooked... Actually prefer this over my very fancy pu ehr most days.Thank you for this tea !!! 🙏❤️

I drink pu-erh tea every morning and wanted to try something new. I specifically bought this brand because of the paper included identifying each flavor with a wrapper color. However, my package did not include this legend, so I have to visit this website every time I want to try a new flavor, or try to print the list out somehow. The tea so far is excellent, but I am disappointed by the inconsistency of packaging.
