Puerh Tea No7

Smooth, nice flavor

I was introduced to this tea by a colleague in Shanghai who knew I preferred fermented (black) tea over green tea. Since I moved back to the US, Amazon has been my source for this tea. I have received good and bad, this one is one of the better cakes I have received. It is still a little looser in the cake than my original. On the positive side, that makes it easier to get the tea loose to steep. It comes nicely packaged if you are looking to make it a gift. The steeped tea is a warm cinnamon color with good flavor and color over a couple steeps.

The Production Date Stamp on mine was 11-19-2022, so it was not even 8 months old. And, it also said to USE BY 11-19-2025, which means before it's 3-years old, and went against everything I had ever read about Puh-Erh Teas. However, having now used this for a week, with 9x Refills, every time, and keeping it in my refrigerator, I changed my mind, saying it's actually quite GOOD in Color, Aroma, Taste, Flavor (it was NEVER EVER Bitter, NEVER!!!), and a Great Value, imho. Plus, it is IN-STOCK with Amazon, so you get 1 to 2 day Delivery, instead of a month (or more), for the Teas coming from China. I'm perfectly happy to be drinking this lower cost Puh-Ehr No7 Teas, and appreciate the Great Value and Fast Amazon Stocking Delivery they provide. Nicely Packaged too, so makes a Great Gift, as well. Will purchase again. Finally finished drinking this entire No7 Puh-Erh Tea Cake, from Amazon, on August 13, 2023, about a little over a month for me to consume, and it was Great, to the very last cup-full. This was my very 1st Puh-Ehr Tea Cake, ever, and I must have gotten really lucky, to get this Super Valued Puh-Ehr Tea Cake No7 from Amazon. I already ordered my next Puh-Erh No7 Tea Cake. It was never Bitter, ever, no matter how long it had been sitting in my Refrigerator, and still had lots of Flavor, Taste, Color, and left me with that Great After-Taste in the Back of my Mouth, too. This was a Great Value Drinking Puh-Erh No7 Tea, and after all, that's all that really matters in the end, imho. You can't beat this with a Stick! I highly recommend it, for anyone to try. I say, "Go For It"... woo-hoo... :o) UPDATE: I make a Mistake, above. Do NOT Refrigerate Store your Tea. The drop in temperature will condense any water vapors and Negatively affect the Tea. It might even start growing Mold. Instead, Store Tea in a Cool (room temperature), Dry (low humidity), Dark (little to no sunlight) place with very little daily temperature change. I am now keeping mine inside my bedroom closet, and keep my house temperature daily chages as low as possible. I've been through a lot of Puerh Teas, but in looking back at the 179 and 7, both were very good Puerh Teas in every way, to me, for their price, and I'm ordering more today, before prices go UP from any Politically America imposed Tariffs, and China Teas become harder to Source. The good thing about Puerh Teas, which are all Fermented, is they just keep getting better with age, unlike all the other kinds of tea, which are Oxydized, so keeping them properly in Storage a long time is OK. Live and Learn. v/r, AAHB :o)

High-quality puer tea! For real puerh lovers! Ordered it twice. Will order again. The only thing I was disappointed though is that the cover photo of this product on Amazon was misleading. It says 2018 harvest, though, in fact, it's 2023 harvest, so it's super young for puerh. The seller should remove the photo with the harvest date at all, and include real harvest date for every product.

I was amazed today when my No7 Puerh Raw tea arrived from jinglong tea company. This is my third purchase from this company and I am very impressed with the way this tea tastes so fresh and is packaged in a really neat and creative way. I have bought loose teas from a number of places and a lot of them seem to oxidize after a short time while all of these teas I have ordered I've never had that happen, I am no tea expert but I think that is an indication that it is packaged and stored with care and doesnt get all dried out or have any chemicals added. I love this place and will be ordering tea here for a long time, THANK YOU!

I enjoyed the packaging and the tea smells great but the flavor is a bit fishy. Great value if thats your thing. I will use it but only when I desire invoking a memory of fish camps in Alaska with a cold smoke going and salmon drying on racks in the sun. Thats the memory I cherish when tasting this tea. Not a daily drinker for me though.

Pu-erh #179- The bouquet of the finished tea is strong and soft at the same time, pleasantly plumy with spices. And it also has pleasant shades of tree bark, rich bun and a little camphor. The aroma of an empty cup is powerful, viscous and sweetish-spicy. The taste is both dense and moderately rich, soft, with a pleasant balance and a long aftertaste.

My cake was made in 2024, so these two short years of aging are unlikely to have resulted in a powerhouse taste and they didn’t. However, at this price level, this Puehr is lovely. A perfect introduction imo to what can be a very pungent and assertive tea. I would suggest using more than you otherwise might if you want a stronger taste.
