[EN] I'm not usually a fan of flavored teas but I love this one. Very thick and full bodied with robust early flavors, nice floral notes from the chrysanthemum which seem to balance the puerh eathiness, and a very light menthol note. Would recommend to someone looking for a dark, thick, rubust flavoured tea. Especially, tea-curious coffee drinkers.

[EN] The aroma and taste of this Yunnan Ripe Pu-erh Chrysanthemum tea and flowers together is excellent & refreshing!
They complement each other with a light spicy, slight floral taste from the Chrysanthemum petals., & has a sweet mellow medium mouthfeel & taste.
I washed the tea of dust/tea particles with a first rinse infusion (to open the leaves and stimulate the enzymes) for approximately 15 seconds, & discarded.
I then brewed the tea with water just off the boil at 98C - 99C (208F - 210F) with 1 gram of tea per ounce (30ml) of water for a 10 ounce (10 grams of tea cake) 25 - 30 second brew.
I've saved the tea can hardly wait to see & taste what multiple infusions will bring.
I highly recommend this tasty Yunnan Ripe Pu-erh Chrysanthemum tea!
