This is my second voyage with Teaspec’s Puerh. I tried their Ripe Puerh earlier this week and was quite surprised how much I enjoyed the dark robust earthy tones. I was excited to check out the Raw Puerh that Teaspec had so graciously allowed The SororiTea Sisters to check out.
Allowed to brew and cool for a moment, this tea was just as exciting as the Ripe Puerh. Unlike the Ripe version, this puerh gave me a lovely smooth rich tangy flavor. Incredibly well balanced. The earthy dark notes were still present but not as strong as the Ripe. There was also a slight hint of a smoky sweet tone, which I found quite intriguing.
Puerh is one of those teas that just keep me intrigued enough that I still dip my toe into this variety of tea now and then. I’ve always been more of a green tea girl but after enjoying both the Raw and Ripe Puerhs from Teaspec,
Looking at Teaspec’s site, they have an amazing offering of teas that are calling my name. There is a Jasmine Envy (green jasmine) and a Jade Allure (roasted green tea) that I have to know more about.
Overall my experience with Teaspec’s Puerh has been one that has opened my eyes (once again) to a variety of tea that I’ve always looked over. I need to be better about introducing puerh’s into my daily drinking regimen.
Thank you Teaspec for this wonderful introduction into Puerhs!

Ripe Puerh from Teaspec. . . . . .
Puerh is one of those varieties of tea that intimidates me. In the past, I’ve had these teas go horribly wrong me and those situation just stick in my head when I go to think abut trying to drink puerh again. I will admit it. I recently purchased a good variety of puerh from a well renowned and adored company yet a good chunk of that order is still untouched. I just find myself grabbing my beloved green or white teas.
Well today I broke out of my tea safety zone and tried a ripe puerh from Teaspec. I also tried their raw puerh but that will be for another day.
Prepped my water, and brewed the tea. I have to say, I instantly fell in love with the earthy aromas that were omitting from my tea cup. I was hoping those tones would translate into a rich robust brew with earthy notes and that is exactly what happened. This tea was full of an earthy undertone with a full bodied feel. I will be honest and say that I totally winged the brewing and steeping parameters which may have caused an abundance of that earthy flavor but never the less, I drank my cuppa done and starting prepping the water for a second cup.
This may not be a tea that I would drink everyday but I love the rich earthy tones that just do not disappoint sip after glorious sip.
I may not have brewed the tea exactly correct, but I loved the flavor that I was able to produce. I have to say, my first experience with Teaspec’s Ripe Puerh and I may have just dabbed my toe into a new tea adventure.
Anybody have any good suggestions and/or advice for a puerh newbie?
