Sunday Morning. Sitting with a cup of Irish Breakfast. Contemplating the day. Looking at the sun coming up, the mist disappearing, the weather, the news. Which new tea shall I try later today.


Ever had pu ehr? Personally, I like my tea without dirt, but some people like it. I have tried to like it, but the musty fragrance and taste just isn't my bag. It is one of the most expensive teas in the world, depending on how long it has been 'buried'. Actually, it isn't buried, but it is 'contained' and allowed to ferment. Some of the really old stuff can go for several hundred dollars/pound. I guess it is the champagne of teas, so to speak. Guess I have cheap tastes. I do plan to try it periodically just to see if I can learn to love it. OR at least handle it.
Many tea shops/cafes don't carry Pu ehr, so if you want to try it you will probably have to order it. I have seen it in shops as Russian Caravan.
Tell about your teas. Any recommendations?
