Jinglong Tea Factory - Puerh Tea Mini Tea Cakes (50 Pcs) Ripe Mini Tuocha (8.8 Ounce)

I have drank bad tea for almost 40 years.... time for a change.... The first cake was enjoyable and does not taste like any tea you have had before. 1 cake made a full days and evening pot in my new tea system. ( 1.5 liters) ( iced it was really good.) ( invest in a kettle with an infuser and a heat pad that keeps it warm---iacook)The pot the next day had a slightly earthy- fishy taste. not unpleasant....Then I learned why people drink this... I was in a completely different mindset--- working with clients and clear and intoxicated on tea!!!!No wonder the English and the Tibetans went crazy for this stuff. Makes getting out of bed on a cold morning so worth it !!! Lets go wrestle a few yaks!! Make an empire before lunch! so I cut back for a few days, alternating with other black and green teas.( I like kingdom of heaven green tea).so I am back and bought a package of fifty.I bought a brick of 8 year aged.... and I like this better.the brick is messy to pick off of, and theses buttons are just the right size for a large pot.took it camping and its the best.helpful u tube videos tea the story of a leaf. tea road to the skies.I have drunk this for a few years now. I mix with some brick. use heavy milk a sugar cube. its very good for my stomach. most batches are really good. I really love it. great for travel and camping.For travel I take a metal water bottle, $ store gauze pouch. brew in water bottle. pour off and add travel milk and sugar. works like a dream. no more bad tea.

UPDATE: 9/1/22My original review was 1-star and complained of a 'nasty chemical cleaner odor'. It smelled exactly like it had been stored near scented laundry detergent. I've since learned that some puerh teas actually naturally smell this way and that several of my tea buddies confirmed that Jinglong is a reputable tea company.So my apologies to Jinglong and the seller (I think it was Asiaseller) for the poor review due to my ignorance. It's just I had drunk a lot of puerh tea over 10 years and had never smelled anything like this before. I have a bit of a trigger to scented laundry detergent, so perhaps my brain was making an association that simply isn't there.The tea itself is actually decent. Earthy, dark. Not much character beyond that, but for the price for a ripe puerh, that's normal. But there's no sign of actually bad poor like mold or fishy odor/taste. Leaving the bag open for several months seems to have greatly reduced the "laundry detergent odor" though it also has probably dried the tea out, further reducing it's character. I will try re-hydrating the tea with some 69% humidity packs in their own bag and see if that improves the character/depth of flavor.The seller was very kind in refunding the price of the tea when I complained about the bad smell. Now that I know it's not actually bad tea, I will probably make another purchase of perhaps one of their cakes to give it a try. Usually cakes are made with higher quality tea than the smaller mini-tuos (this product).

The tea was delivered on time. This tea is very good. I’ve purchased it a couple times. So far I have been satisfied with it.

I purchased this tea out of curiosity while reading a book written by Breanna Hayse, my favorite author. The reviews were good, so I figured- why not?OMG!Steep the tea using a strainer (I let sit for about 2 minutes). Unlike green teas, the leaves aren't really edible BUT you can use them for a second or third cup. I let it steep longer with the repeat cups. You can also toss the cake in a big mason jars, add 2-3 cups of water, and make sun tea. It's great hot, cold and reheated.Now, for the flavor/aroma- I didn't know what to expect, to be truthful, but was incredibly pleased by what I found. It's a black tea- smooth, rich, just the perfect amount of bitterness. I added vanilla creamer and fell in love! It all depends on how you like your tea fixed-- the flavor is very flexible and adapts to different methods. (Dad tossed some orange zest to steep with it and loved the tiny hint of citrus)I enjoy teas in general (Dad's from UK, so it's bred into me) and my grandmother had a mind-boggling collection, but never this stuff. The 'fermented' flavor is light and distant, and leaves a curious taste in the palate that urges you to keep sipping.It was also a FAST pick me up! Forget the coffee-- I'm hooked.The cakes came in little foil wrappers- and were LARGER than what one would get in a standard US tea bag. The only downfall is you have to strain it, which means you can't just take it with you to a restaurant and pop it in your cup. That's an easy solution, though... bring a couple of tea filters along for the ride and you're set.

For the price.....its well worth trying....im light on my funds and my addiction for Puer....is like a Heroin addiction....i have Systemic Mastocytosis....up until 3 weeks ago....SINCE DECEMBER....one of the triggers of this disease is stress...leading to massive stomach issues...NOT ANYMORE...PUER....is a genie in the bottle....AMAZING....as you can see by the photos....i have two Yixing clay teapots...the black one is 500 ml....the other...is 150 ml....this tea is a light....very subtle flavor....and MYSELF....i like ...IN YOUR FACE....strong Puer and Chinese Red tea....so im brewing strong.....My tea water is at 94c...at 200 ml per pour in my black 500 ml Yixing Tea Pot....tea wash first...the first pour is at 40 seconds....and the next two the same....tasting each pour.....at the end of the third pour..... yielding a little over 500ml...of deliciousness.... total......i decided to rebrew the 3 pours....at 5 min....that was perfect....i used two of the mini Tuo Cha....this is my Gong Fu Cha....amazing tea for the price

Very basic puer. Flat without a lot of complexity but definitely not terrible by any means. Especially for the price. I ordered some puers from China that were taking forever to arrive so ordered this to get me by. It's serving it's purpose. Musty, leathery notes with a nice chi to it.

I love tea but have trouble drinking it because it gives me terrible heart burn. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this but absolutely no bitterness or tannin and no heartburn. It’s a little more time to prepare but worth it. I dried out the leaves and reused them next day the pot was just as flavourful. It’s fermented so am thinking that’s why I don’t get heartburn. Anyway good tea. Also good served black or with a bit of milk or oat milk… delicious! Recommend and will repurchase.

smells like a barn but it makes you feel sooooo good!

Reasonable value for money. I would recommend this to someone who is familiar with ripe/cooked puerh, who is looking for a daily drinker, and doesn’t mind wet-pile taste. It brews up nice inky black for initial steeps. I suggest flash brewing for the first few infusions.

EXCELLENT, j`en ai acheté 2 paquets pour essayer et j`en ai passé une autre commande de 4 pack 2 pour cadeau et 2 pour moi.

This tea has a very full almost earthy flavour without the bitterness of some strong teas.I have never tried a pu-erh tea before but I will certainly purchase this again
