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

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.

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

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!

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!!

bad fishy smell makes it undrinkable... disappointing...

Been drinking tea for the past 22 years; almost entirely varieties of green tea, and many of those premium. I had never previously tried any type of pu-erh before obtaining this one. It is positively the tastiest tea that I have ever drunk. My previous experience with other super-black teas was that they had a plain taste of tannin. I know this pu-erh is also tannin, yet it has a completely different taste than the tannins of other black tea varieties. It is much softer and smoother than any other black tea, even when served darker ( more concentrated ) than other teas. And because it can be served more concentrated than other varieties, a more robust flavor than other teas can be obtained. I first shred one patty via a simple tower grater common in most kitchens. The tea then goes into 18 fl oz of water, which I heat in a small pot over an electric burner just until it begins to boil. Then I stir the brew, pull it off the burner and put a lid on the pot. Timer is then started. Every 60 secs I restir briefly, until the alarm sounds at 3 minutes. Stir one more time and then strain it to separate the liquid from the solids. After the initial servings, the remainder of this concentrate is allowed to cool down before storage in a glass jar. We have never observed spoilage when stored at room temperature for about a week. We use only ¼ cup of this concentrate per 15-16 fl oz serving in our large mugs. Thus, we get about 8-9 servings per batch of concentrate made from one of these pu-ehr tea patties. I have already repurchased another package for ourselves, and two more as gifts for a friend and a family member. Its rustic bamboo wrapper makes a striking impression, really driving home what a very special bit of Chinese culture it is :-)

If you've made the decision to order pu erh cha off Amazon you've already accepted a certain quality ceiling. This tea meets that expectation. The flavor isn't great, but its not undrinkable. It tastes like the bamboo tube to be honest. The tube is an entirely unnecessary bit of decoration; it comes in a ziplock bag. If I have almost any other pu erh I don't drink this one. This is a good tea for people that don't really like tea but want to be the sort of person who is "in to" exotic tea. Its a better decoration than a beverage.

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

Good quality and very testy, as expected.

Is very good tee

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.
