I just figured out how to find out nbtea's numbers/names.
If you add a tea to a shopping basket, then go to the basket you see the name of the tea and its number

If you don't like their black Tuocha, Pu-Erh is surely not your cup of tea. Then again, Pu-Erh is not like a normal tea, just like Mate, Rooibos and Lapacho are not.
How do you steep this tuocha?
When I did it first time it made me drunk. I rinsed tuocha for 30 seconds. Then I infused it for 3 minutes in 600ml of water. The resulting bouquet was very powerful.
Washing tuocha is important I think.



A cup of Taylors of Harrogate's Tea Room blend.
