This tea has that smell that makes me cautious around puerh so I did a 30 second “rinse” before doing a 30 second steep. I’ve gotten three big mugs out of it so far and all of them have lots of flavour. I can see this one going strong for a while.
Right now everything about this tea reminds me of cream of mushroom. I’m honestly not a fan of that, but I’m curious to see where this tea goes in later steeps.
EDIT: I don’t mind the 4th steep, which still has the mushroom but with a lot more cream, and the additional dash of sugar with something nutty.

Maybe if you do it western style you can skip the first few infusions? Or if would be balanced between mushroom and cream? I wonder if it works like that…
I made some up western style like you suggested and it did work out better for me (less mushroom!), although my “rinse” may have been too intense and killed some of the cream too. It’s still a work in progress.
