Tea Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nature\u2019s Bloom Pu\u2019erh Tea: is the ultimate blend of our select loose Pu\u2019erh leaves expertly combined with our organic Jasmine, Lavender and Rosebud herbal teas. Our Pu\u2019erh is handpicked, dried, and rolled tightly and neatly into strips. Subsequently, the leaves undergo a microbial fermentation process which makes this a unique, dark tea. Our Jasmine buds are beautiful and tight until infused when they burst into a beautiful flower with a lovely and soft fragrance. Lavender is a flower purple in color with an invigorating fragrance and subtle flavor that will linger on the palate. While the third bloom in this one of a kind blend is our Rosebud. A staple of Chinese medicine, Rosebuds have been found to contain vitamin C which boosts the immune system and promotes healthy skin and bones. The marriage of the bold earthy Pu\u2019erh with this fragrant and soothing herbal trio will thrill the palate with a bouquet of flavor that you will enjoy every day of the week.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taster’s Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yep, I did it again. \u00a0I put off trying this Nature’s Bloom Pu’erh Tea Blend from Nature’s Tea Leaf because it’s … well, because it’s Pu-erh. \u00a0While I have come to the point where I very much enjoy Pu-erh and Pu-erh blends, I still have not been able to get past that point where my initial reaction is hesitation and yes, even a little bit of repulsion when I’m given a new Pu-erh to try.<\/p>\n

And … I’ll say it again, I enjoy Pu-erh!<\/p>\n

But, I had a couple of really negative experiences with my first pu-erh tastings and the memories of those negative experiences have lingered even though my positive experiences with Pu-erh greatly outnumber the negative ones!<\/p>\n

All that said – this flowery Pu-erh blend is absolutely LOVELY! \u00a0The aroma is very interesting because it is both floral and earthy, giving it an almost “greenhouse” kind of scent. \u00a0What I mean by that is that this reminds me of the fragrance that I’d experience if I were to go to a nursery and go into their greenhouse. \u00a0Scents of earth and flowers fill the air! \u00a0This is also a visually stunning blend with whole rosebuds, jasmine buds, and lavender buds generously added to the dark pu-erh tea leaves.<\/p>\n

And I love the flavor. \u00a0I did a quick rinse of the leaves – just 10 seconds! – and then I brewed the first infusion for 1 minute. \u00a0The first cup is earthy – but not overwhelmingly so. \u00a0The notes of rose, jasmine and lavender are in pleasing balance with the earthy tones. \u00a0The pu-erh is rich and mellow and very smooth, and the floral tones – which can sometimes be sharp – are sweet and those sharp tones have been softened by the pu-erh, creating a flavor that is just pleasantly sweet, floral and very relaxing to sip.<\/p>\n

As one who tends to shy away from the sometimes overtly earthy tones of Pu-erh, I appreciate how the floral tones lighten some of those strong earthy notes. \u00a0At the same time, I like that the floral notes do not overpower the cup. \u00a0This is a really delightfully balanced tea blend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
