PL here -
Thought I'd get this blog and the New Year fired up again with this brief post about this great tea Tina and I have been drinking since, I guess, this past summer or so ... I'd promise to post my frequently, but there is something aobout good food and drink that brings out the lazy in me ...
Anyway ... Pu-Ehr is a black tea, unlike any other, which TeeVoz and I
have in the past few months taken to drinking. It almost tastes like
some kind of coffee or wine, and it has a smooth, deep, earthy flavor. I
drink all black teas with milk - organic, as well as the tea - and milk
goes very well with Pu-Ehr, unlike most black ties from China. Honey
also complements the flavor nicely, and I'd say it has less caffeine
than other black teas, but more than greens and whites. This is not
based on chemical analysis, but on how close to going to sleep at night I
can drink the tea, and still easily fall asleep. I usually have one cup
late in the afternoon or early in the evening - in contrast to other
black teas which I drink during the day and rarely after 6pm, and green
or white teas, which I usually drink after 6pm. It takes boiling water,
like all black teas. Pu-Ehr is said to go back to Ancient China. It is
certainly a delicious, calming, clarifying tea for the 21st century.
