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

UPDATE: This is the 4th time I have purchased this tea over a period of several years.. I have tried many brands of Pu-erh tea and this one is my favorite.. you can really taste the difference in the various brands of these teas.. The others just don't stack up.. Nice mellow flavor and it reminds me of chocolate..no its not chocolate but it has a really nice distinctive taste.. I highly recommend this tea. This is a great tea. It has a nice mellow flavor.. I don't like Pu-erh in the loose leaf and the bricks are just too hard to break and too crumbly .. This tea comes in a row of 1.5"x 1/8" disks that you can break in half.. One half disk is plenty to make a large mug of tea. I make my tea strong so you may want to use less. I really like the bambo tube it comes in.. It's cool looking and it keeps he disks nicely in order as you peel it back to expose more. At 7oz of tea, its a lot of tea in a small space.. I recommend this tea!

As advertised! I love the tea. the cakes are a good size. The tea ends up looking very dark and earthy. lovely taste. I used to buy Numi (which is great for a quick tea bag) but this really has a deeper flavor. I recommend it.

I love tea, and have been a "serious" tea drinker for about a decade now. I love a good oolong, and I can appreciate and enjoy almost everything in between, but for the life of me for years now I have not been able to really aquire a taste for Pu-erh tea. Alot of the other Pu-erh teas I've tasted have had a very off-putting hay and "barnyard" flavor note that I just don't enjoy. But this tea might be the one that changes my mind on Pu-erh. It's got a medium earthiness to it, but it's not at all off-putting, and it has a wonderful floral note and all around good flavor. Personally, I find the 3rd brew to be the best. I still don't think Pu-erh will ever be my favorite, but this one will likely become standard in my tea rotation.

Jinglong Pu-erh is now my go-to morning tea and I absolutely love it. The tea is rich and strong and very flavorful. I truly look forward to my Pu-erh tea every morning. I like to add a small piece of candied ginger to the cup and a bit of cream too - so wonderful and a lovely way to wake up. The tea comes in round cakes about the size of a half dollar that are easily snapped into 4 quarter pieces. I then put a small tea piece into a tea brewing basket and brew in near boiling water for about 5 minutes. If you want to add a top-notch electric tea kettle to your repertoire, I highly recommend the Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle. 4000+ positive reviews = I LOVE MINE. Also, I like to take my tea with me during my commute and I highly recommend the Contigo travel mug - it has a no spill top - for real - no spill!! and my tea stays hot for a solid hour - and I do mean HOT. Look on Amazon for: Contigo AUTOSEAL West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug , 16 oz. I'm an espresso and latte guy but I like to add Pu-erh to my morning ritual as well for balance and a bit less caffeine. Plus my digestion improves after drinking a cup of this tea and I notice that the tea keeps my hunger at bay as well. This is a fine company and clearly very dedicated to their craft. Great tea, great find and highly recommended!!

This product is exactly as advertised, great caffeine content great taste, aroma is nice at great price

It's very neatly packaged and exactly what it claims to be. I got this for my wife and she enjoys it. Not the best pu-erh tea around according to my wife who had it in China but a perfectly good stand-in. You probably aren't beating this unless you go find and drink pu-erh tea in China.

I had to cancel my subscription and change my review. The first 2 orders were delicious. I am a tea aficionado, but by no means a tea snob. I actually never met a tea I didn't like. I even like the 'stinky tea' my acupuncturist advises I consume. When I received this last order, I noticed right away the tea didn't have the usual wonderful aroma. I put the disks in a special airtight glass jar I've been using for years. Over the next few days, I noticed there was no distinct tea scent when I opened the jar. When I poured hot water over the dry tea, the smell was just like dirt when planting. I like the smell of dirt, so it wasn't unpleasant, but it was unusual. Sure enough, after steeping and tasting, I knew something was off. I tried a few of the other disks and the same dirt smell was released. The taste was NOTHING like tea. I've been drinking tea every day of my life for over 50 years. I stopped buying tea in bags a long time ago b/c of the microplastics. There also have been several well-documented reports on tea containing a certain amount of dust, dirt, and other particulates. All of the 'cake' tea/loose tea I have purchased has a wonderful aroma when dry and this one did not and once water is poured over it, I could not tell the difference between it and pouring water over dirt in a freshly potted plant.

I was so looking forward to this tea. As a Puerh tea it should have a rich earthy flavor, but this tea is almost tasteless. It brews a beautiful dark reddish brown liquor but has almost no flavor, there is no detectable aroma either. I gave it a 3 minute steep and tried it then let it steep for another 5 minutes without effect. There was no bitter taste. Is high in caffeine. I brew my tea in a 24 oz. mug and after I finished drinking I could feel the caffeine, which I never do with any other of the teas I brew. Good price. May revise this review as I use more of the cakes and hopefully find more flavor.

I have to be careful not to leave the compressed leaves in the cup for too long. Its very powerful but the flavour is wonderful. Product came from Poland in a hand written envelope! I didn't know Poland produces tea!

Me encantó

I let it steep for 15 mins for the second time brewing to get more flavor. I found out this product uses the tips and leftover pieces of the pu erh plant. Now it is still an awesome product with good flavor..but next time I will try the actual full size pu erh cake.

Good quality and very testy, as expected.
