This is a black pu-erh from Yunnan Province, China. The small aged and fermented leaves are pressed into small "bird nests"; when brewed, the leaves separate. The nests are versatile: one can be used for a pot or a single cup, simply by varying the infusion time. This tea can be repeatedly re-steeped.
The aroma reminds me of the deep smells of moist forest undergrowth. It is wide, inviting, and blanket-like. The mouthfeel is velvety, the palate is earthy, round, and complete, with black tea and fermentation flavors. There is prominent nori in the finish. This tea can be brewed very strong, to replace coffee, and is high in caffeine.
Studies have shown pu-erh tea to have substantial health benefits, thus verifying Chinese tradition. For instance, French researchers found that three cups of pu-erh per day for a month lowered blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients by 25%. This is at least as good as the results of the drug Clofibrate, without Clofibrate's side effects. Chinese tradition also claims that pu-erh tea lowers blood alcohol levels, but I am not aware of any controlled studies to test this.
This is a terrific bargain tea, and I recommend it highly. It also makes a good transition to morning teas if you are a morning coffee person (a nice strong Assam is another good choice.)
