This odd looking tea is pressed into a “Nest” shape or “Tuo.” Pu-erh is a highly revered tea type from Yunnan Province that undergoes fermentation during its production—it then can improve with age, developing nuance as a result of microbial activity. This “Shou” Pu-erh is richly earthy and velvety smooth.
Preparation: 1 piece (about 5 g) to 16 ounces of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew 3-4 min.
