I am slowly sampling the Pu-ers that I brought back from my trip to China. Walking on the Tea Horse Road made me think of the miles and miles that tea traveled to far away destinations. For me Pu-er is an aquired taste and I am still learning its nuances. Like many other tea lovers, my tea choice changes with the seasons. Yes, I like "hefty" teas in the winter too. I will have to try some ginger in my cup of Pe-er. Thanks for the suggestion, dear Marilyn!<br /><br />Mary Janeamherstrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770869900528472512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-78405995071716516272012-01-27T14:45:06.924-08:002012-01-27T14:45:06.924-08:00I drink lots more *hot* tea in the winter, though ...I drink lots more *hot* tea in the winter, though I'm gulping down iced tea all summer long! And yes, I've been into something a little "heavier," a rich Yunnan tea instead of one of my frou-frou blends. Instead of comfort food, maybe it's "comfort tea" we seek in the winter!Angela McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928913868086900802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-22294814274381757732012-01-27T05:42:29.630-08:002012-01-27T05:42:29.630-08:00"the older the Pu-Er, the better its flavor,&..."the older the Pu-Er, the better its flavor," that is quite true, isn't it? A bit like some wine, the older the better. It's hard to get Pu-Er here, so I've not had it in a while. I drink a lot, and I do tend to like a more robust tea, usually of the black variety during the winter months. But I do like to mix it up a bit. In summer I do favor "lighter" green teas more. And in summer I like to use the fruit teas as iced teas. This afternoon I'm having a little pot of tea from my precious tin of Royal Blend afternoon tea from London's Fortnum & Mason--it brings London memories with each sip. :o) I always enjoy your tea posts, Marilyn.

It looks like a twig tea to made, made from the stems, stalks, and twigs of the plant. It is a very pleasant green tea, and I'm enjoying multiple steepings throughout the day. Alas, I haven't developed a taste for puerh on my tea journey.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394597758723246533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-6177771041382893462012-01-26T10:38:09.278-08:002012-01-26T10:38:09.278-08:00I drink tea year round, but yes, I think I drink i...I drink tea year round, but yes, I think I drink it even more in the cold months. I have a hard time with caffeine, so I have to be careful to drink mostly decaf teas unless it's very early in the morning.<br /><br />I've never tried Pu-er, but it sounds fascinating. Where do you recommend looking for it?Gigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-60296940757285891702012-01-26T10:31:46.394-08:002012-01-26T10:31:46.394-08:00So interesting.

All year round I like a strong tea in the morning, then progressively weaker (withe less caffeine) as I move through the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
