Jinglong Tea Factory - Pu-erh Tea in Bamboo Leaf Tube (80 Cups) Ripe Puerh Tea (7.1 Ounce)

This is the shnizzle. Perfectly fermented and is the traditional brew, reserved for the Emperor. Break off a quarter for two cups and 1/2 for a pot. Love it! Been drinking it since 2017. Higher in caffeine than most other teas at a price that doesn't break the bank. It's my morning go to. I had a question and received a super prompt and friendly response from the manager himself, who then sent me some samples of other products they carry for free. I wouldn't mind meeting him someday.

Unexpectedly good puer, rich taste, I guess the storage conditions in bamboo did the trick. This is not an ideal tea, but for this price it is probably the one of the best you can find on Amazon

Good taste, smells like soil, and not fishy at . Good value for the money, and last long

Excellent product

Good quality puerh tea. Thank you. I will order again.

This is the most horrible tasting tea. It smells disgusting and is undrinkable. The instructions say to toss out the first batch and then steep again. I had to toss the second batch also. Not even sure this is tea.

Strong earthy taste, like it a lot

Jinlong Tea Factory Puer in bambooPresentation is neat - the cakes are easy to measure, each is about 10g, and able to be broken in half for 5g chunks. The leaves are pretty shredded, so it doesn't matter if you break it down the middle. The price is good.I've come back to this tea six or more times over the past half year-> here are notes from the most recent session.Ratio: 1g tea to 15ml of water Brewing method: don't use gaiwan because of small size of tea particles - a pot is best. Water: 200-205 F Rinse: 15-20 seconds, until bubbles stop. This tea is pretty tightly packed.First Brew: 7 seconds - burnt wood, wet hay, cedar, loam, full-bodied mouthfeel, lingering aftertaste of charred cedar. Color is a very strong dark red.Second Brew: 8 seconds - More of the same, less charcoal/burntThird Brew: 10 seconds - clear tobacco smell, hints of caramel, burnt sugar, cedar still present, a bit of seaweed, metallic copper flavor on the finishFourth Brew: 12 seconds - continued smell of burnt brown sugar and cedar (nutmeg?), taste is notably lighter, more spicy flavor: oregano, cedar, nori(seaweed), savory. Stronger coppery metal on the finish (i want to stop drinking here because of this).Fifth and last brew: 30 seconds - still lighter flavors - seaweed broth, cedar, saltiness, mineral flavor. Metalic finish is still there.Overall: 3/5 - not a daily drinker but definitely a fun experience and a funky tea!
