LWXLJMJZC－Ripe Puerh Tea Mini Cake 30pcs(10 Tastes*3pcs) |Yunnan Pu-erh Tea |Rice Balls (Cook&uncook) Pu'erh Tea | Mini Tuo Cha Black Tea

I am new to chinese tea and the brewing methods so I wanted a cheap way to dip my toes into it before delving further and this little pack was a fabulous way to get to know all the various flavor profiles. The little pellets break down beautifully into whole leaves after the initial wash, and release their aromas by the first steep. I am able to pull about 8-9 steeps before the flavor begins to thin out. My favorite so far has been the glutinous rice ones so I'm happy that there are 6 of those vs just 3 in the packet, as it has a nice rich rice flavor that reminds me of japanese rice tea. My least favorite has been the raw pu erh one as it had an overwhelming grassy green tea bitter astringency to it. Maybe I need to use a lower temp, I still have 2 more pellets to play with. The rose one was my favorite in terms of smell, it was very floral and soothing, but the flavor was way too floral for my liking. Overall the tea has been excellent, not mind blowing, but delicious enough to entice me to look into ordering tea from china while I finish the rest of this sampler set. Having a different flavor to try everyday has been incredibly fun.

I am an avid tea drinker. I am considered to be very knowledgeable on all facets of teas from around the world, tea ware, etc. it’s a passion of mine. These tuo cha disks are perfect little single use for my gaiwans. They’re so convenient. I now bring them to work with me. What blew me away the most, was the lavender ones!!! I’m in love!!! The flavor is amazing. I have been looking online to try and grab them in bulk, but can’t find just lavender tuo’s anywhere. I would love for this company to offer single flavors as well. Other than that, which is an easy added benefit for them, this tea variety sampler is an absolute winner! Every flavor is on point, true to its name/variety. Each tea has been processed correctly (no stale, moldy , or fishy hints). In my opinion, these are a great product, especially for this price. Thank you so much for putting these out there for everyone to enjoy!!!!

The product arrived quickly and came in a nice fabric bag. The various flavors are interesting with the purple (peony flavor I think) is my favorite. The sellers are very response and promptly answered by question about ordering one of the styles of teas individually. I ended up ordering some pu ehr tea from them, which was also affordable and of qood quality.

I’ve bought this a couple times now. Packaging is pretty. All the flavors taste good, I like the chrysanthemum and the rice flavored ones best! The base flavor of most of these is similar to a strong black tea, but way less bitter and more earthy. The “raw” ones are green tea instead. Some flavors taste very similar, but that’s ok. You get a lot for the price! 30 cakes, and you can even use the same leaves for two or three good brews, they’re really strong! Remember to “rinse” the leaves with hot water first, or else it tastes kind of weird.

Fine, put the only flavor difference that is really noticeable ripe vs raw.

Some of the most wonderful puerh. Different types to choose from. Helped me a lot. Reasonably priced. I had no idea it would be so exquiste. Thank you a lot.

If you are considering buying this... DO IT ! I don't usually leave reviews but I have to.. always appreciate genuine tea reviews. I have been so skeptical of buying mini tuo cakes for cheap but couldn't resist at the price/flavors. Not very fragrant with whatever herbs/flavors are infused but gives a subtle aroma. I personally love the scent that is specific to these ripe pu ehr cakes. I can't get enough of them and crave cheat takeout just to drink this pu ehr after a delicious not so healthy meal (wings & rice 👌). My only problem is the raw cakes. There are only 2 but they seem to be stored too wet and are farr from aged enough. The raw glutinous rice smelled and tasted of raw pungent mushroom mycelium.. fishy and metallicy even. But they can easily be saved to age over the years. Overall so worth it I just ordered a second pack and it's only been about a month since I first tried. Gonna order some glutinous rice and ginseng 40 packs very soon. I'm hooked... Actually prefer this over my very fancy pu ehr most days. Thank you for this tea !!! 🙏❤️

…. I am writing an honest review. I was very excited to receive my package. Upon opening, I noticed it kind of smelled a little off. It kind of had a “moist“ smell to it. I brewed a pellet.. it smelled like slimy mushrooms. I think somewhere along the line the packaging was compromised. After thoroughly examining the packaging there is a hole where it wasn’t sealed correctly. There are a few other things I did not like about this. I honestly don’t think I will purchase this item again.
