Golden Moon Tea - Pu-erh Organic - Loose Leaf
Ordered from Amazon when I ordered my tea needle.
Very different from my Breakfast Blends and Darjeelings.
Didn't follow directions exactly (that's just me, I do it all the time) Almost forgot to stop steeping at 2 minutes. The 1st steep was almost overpowering, definitely stronger, fuller than my 10 minutes steeped Breakfast Blends & Darjeeling (I prefer my tea fairly strong and, so far haven't managed to take it to bitter or unpleasant).
2nd steeping was 3 minutes and was slightly less overpowering, still full & strong.
Very earthy undertones, not unpleasant at all; wasn't quite sure what to expect, not disappointed even a little bit.
If I can actually get 6-12 steepings from 1 dose, Pu-erh could be an affordable tea, even some of the more expensive one; not the over $1,000 400 gram or so cakes, but I can see about $350-400.
Also got this.
Pretty sure it's not my imagination, I swear this is WAY higher in caffeine than my Breakfast Blend, almost up there with coffee, of which I've had 1 mug in over a year.
Hope to become a fairly regular poster here.
