Pu’erh TTB 2015 Tea #6

LaoCha is one of my favorite variation of the ’pu’erh’ world. With that being said, I took all the LaoCha I could find in the box beside the W2T which I have. At first I thought this was disappointing because it wasn’t thick and the taste was weak. So what did I do? I yelled at it and then decided to boil it with some water as punishment. Three minutes later I came back and tried to see if the punishment yielded better results. It did
This is one of the few teas I would ever recommend anyone brew for over a minute in regards to a dark/ripe tea because something they become too much like wet dirt and that is no fun. So three minutes it is which is odd when you gongfu…
Anyways, a great taste is leading me to the thought that I had before: LaoCha is a hard variation to have someone just jump out as a winner in regards to quality and taste.
I’m not sure if I’ll find the LaoCha I buy a kilogram for to put in a crock… but maybe one day I’ll stumble upon it.

Lao Cha always takes a long time to open up. I start steeps and go till the water starts to darken. They are tightly bound with the pectin from the tea and take a while top brew up.

I always double the amount. If regular shou 6g I take 12g for Lao cha tuo. Works every time and lasts longer
