Dark tea is a Chinese tea similar to puerh (also written "pu'erh" and "pu-erh"). Aged and fermented, dark tea has a wonderfully rich and complex flavor (and steeps multiple times, with varying layers of flavor appearing from each level). We combine the dark tea with rose petals and vanilla for an inviting, aromatic brew. If you haven't had much experience with puerh before, we believe dark tea is an excellent introduction. This particular blend we feel is also excellent to share with friends plus good foods and good conversation.
Dark tea and puerh were originally pressed into cakes by tea merchants to help the tea survive long journeys. Our dark tea is pressed into heart shapes along with rose petals before aging. These hearts are just the right size for a cup; just pop one into your infuser and brew as normal.
Each pouch contains approximately 10 hearts (1.5 oz). Each heart is approximately 5 grams of tea.
