Toucha Pu-erh

If you know your tea, you will know that this is the tea of tea’s. It is an acquired taste and costs a little more but it is delicious and claims all sorts of health benefits. Reasonably priced for Pu-Erh, nicely packaged and a good size, in China it is sold in larger ‘wheels’ that cost $$$$$, so this is much more manageable.

What should be one of the strongest teas with a deep purple color, dark enough to be unable to see the bottom of the mug, is like light colored water. The flavour and aroma are no better. Pu-erh often comes in packed bricks but this is a 100g brick that requires chiseling. After the second try, steeping for five minutes, and still getting weak tea, I noticed that the harvest date is 2008. This is not red wine that ages wonderfully. Whoever sold this tea should be embarrassed.

The taste is ok but to my taste it's too earthy, I expected to have a bit of sweetness as described. I bought other pu ehr teas and they were sweet indeed. The most disappointing part is that it's just impossible to break a piece. I had to use a knife and even with a knife, it's really difficult to cut a piece. I may be mistaken but a few years ago I bought another pu ehr from this brand and it was fantastic and easy to break, that's why I assumed this one will be the same but it wasn't. Won't be buying again unfortunately :(

This product is excellent, I have bought it several times and I would buy it again.

It’s probably my fault I though it will be few smaller cakes rather than a big one - is not that easy to break it unless you skilled with this type of tea other than that I love the flavor. I would give 5 stars if I don’t have to fight with the cake every time when I was the tea.

The fishy smell and bitterness of a bad pu'er. Avoid. Also if you didn't know how to prepare pu'er, beware mine didn't come with any instructions as promised. No fruitiness, just wood and earth. And fish. No return available this is a ripoff.

Not good quality tea.

The tea is moldy

At USD$27⁶², this is not the cheapest Pu Erh; all the more so, when you consider that 100g is less than a quarter of a pound (see photo). But I keep looking for that powerful Pu Erh aroma, ever since I moved to the US, from Chile, last year. This is still not it. Many tea commentators deride those of us who seek that redolence of garden compost, but that, to me, is the thrill of a “good” Pu Erh. I bought this, prompted by a reviewer who warned us of the “fishy smell and bitterness of a bad pu'er.” That is certainly not what I found. Not bad tea, but mild. Several reviewers complain that the cake is too hard to break up. It is harder than most, agreed, but that has such a simple solution: leave the “nest” overnight in a large cup, with a tiny amount of water! [After that, of course, you have three or four days to consume it before it molds (moulds), unless you dry it again: sunlight, microwave, whatever.]

It has a lot of health benefits, that's why I bought it.

Wer starken, herben aber trotzdem süßlichen Tee liebt wird diesen mögen. Ist recht stark gepresst, krümelt entsprechend. Riecht nach Trockenfrüchten und auch etwas nach Erde. Kann man ruhig mehrmals aufgießen. Jeder Aufguss öffnet etwas mehr das Aroma, bis er langsam verblasst. Für kühle Abende oder Regentage die beste Wahl. Mit seinen herbstlichen Aromen wärmt er einen auf. Toucha Pu-erh Tee Yunnan China - Pu Er Roter Tee - Chinesisch Gepresster Puerh - Pu'erh Gedrückt - Puh Er - Puer
