Last week I reviewed Pu Erh Chorange, which was the first time in a long time I had made any Pu Erh tea. It’s something I tried once a long time ago, didn’t really care for and then moved on. About two years ago though, I started to get into drinking it again and picked up a sampler from Adagio with a few different varieties, and really liked most of them. If you are unfamiliar with it, it is a tea whose leaves are allowed to ferment, giving it a lot of character (and “aroma”)

I’ve been struggling with what to write about here other than just reviewing teas, and think that Pu Erh might be an interesting topic to explore, so I will be focusing on it for the next few weeks. I’ll be reviewing some more samples I have and hitting up my local tea shops to hopefully find a few more. I’ll also explain how the tea is made and maybe a little bit of the culture behind it. (What can I say, I get excited about weird things sometimes.)  I’ll be updating this post with links as I write so it can be a starting place for anyone interested in learning more about Pu Erh.
