It's everything I want in a shou puerh. It has a thick mouthfeel, with a hint of astringency, and sweet aftertaste. It's truly delicious. I can and do drink this one every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are generous leaves and can be brewed 15 times or more. Use 5-7 grams of leaves and brew with 8 ounces of water at or near boiling. Rinse twice for 3s each. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWatch us review this tea with TeaDB below.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(250 grams)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/crimsonlotustea.live\/products\/2008-bulang-imperial-grade-shou-ripe-puerh-sample-25-grams\" title=\"Crimson Lotus Tea 2008 Bulang Imperial Grade Shou \/ Ripe Puerh Sample (25 grams)\"\u003e20 gram Samples available.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e8KZoyfHtak?rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crimson Lotus Tea","offers":[{"title":"250g Brick","offer_id":751630097,"sku":"2008_BIG_250","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g Sample","offer_id":1304380289,"sku":"2008_BIG_Sample","price":5.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/0437\/products\/2008-Crimson-Lotus-Tea-Bulang-Gongting-Wrapped-800x_128d6a1c-9860-493d-9d67-202c29bfed20.jpg?v=1414651910","url":"https:\/\/crimsonlotustea.live\/products\/2008-bulang-imperial-grade-shou-ripe-puerh","provider":"Crimson Lotus Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
