I want to share with you all that Pu’er is a very special tea. It can be so dark that I have never, never known a tea like that. It can still be quite smooth when it is very dark. That is why I think it is so wonderful.
There is a one thing that Leo wrote about but I had not paid attention to: the portion of tea closer to the bottom of the pot is stronger. Now this is not so obvious with other tea varieties, but it is so dramatic in Pu’er! It took me a while before I could figure out to use another pot to hold the tea first to even out the strength before pouring into the cups. Please if you are using Pu’er, don’t forget to do that. This can make a big difference in the taste!
