There are too many posts to respond to. You people sure keep busy.
I am starting the great Pu-Erh experiment at work today. I brought in the four loose leaf Pu-Erhs so I can try them more easily at the office. Two more days until I can try the cakes and mushroom. Although a Part of me doesn't want to try the mushroom because then it won't look as pretty...
I am starting with the Shu Pu-Erh Classic Vintage Blend. Rishi's packaging says that it is earthy, rich, and smooth with the comforting aroma of autumn leaves. I have no idea about the autumn leaves bit but it is a good cup of tea. Again, not as powerful as the Tuo's but I think I have come to expect that the loose leaf varients are just not as powerful as the compressed versions.
It is quite yummy though. I can see drinking this at the office on a regular basis. I think that the smapler set included a 1 ounce bag which sells for $4. That is an insanely good price for a good Pu-Erh. It is not spectacular but it is good and I can see drinking it on a regular basis.
I also discovered that Rishi Teas are sold at many of the Whole Foods in my area. hmmmmm
