Pu-erh Ripe Rice Tea Cake

The process of brewing Ripe Pu-erh Rice Tea Cake is so effortless that you can relish its robust and fragrant tastes without much hassle. Here is a simple way to prepare the tea:

Water temperature: The water needs to be heated to about 95-100 degrees celsius to ensure that the touch of the aged Pu-erh tea and the aromatic comforting smell of rice herb is entirely drawn out.

Steeping time: 1/4 piece per cup and 1/2 piece per teapot. The tea can be left steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Constant soaking of the Pu erh tea can yield several times its infusion while exposing different levels of flavor with every infusion.

Enhancements: The tea works best without any additions, as it enables appreciation of its rich roasted nutty notes, but honey can also be used as an enhancement at one’s discretion.

Iced tea option: To prepare this as an iced tea, the tea can be prepared in the usual manner, cooled afterwards and placing it on icy cubes. The earthy notes of Pu-erh mixed with the nuttiness of coffee rice notes make imbibing a cold drink very delightful and satisfying.

Enjoy: Take small sips to enjoy the rich, deep flavour of the Pu-erh, along with its comforting aroma, enhanced by rice herb taste, regardless of it being hot or cold.
