Puerh Paste - Glenn McKenna

„

the creation of Puerh Paste from within Yunan Province, China. basically, it's similar to making hash or hemp oil. they brew the tea, then continue to sift it through smaller and smaller sized hole mesh bags until the final mixture is a paste. seems to me if there's a direct way to go tea infusion, this might be it.

„Tea that is picked in the summer, often referred to as Yu Shui Cha, is not of high quality. In the rainy season, levels of sunshine are comparatively low so it is often not possible to sun dry tea so a wood stove is used to dry it. This can produce a smokey aroma and flavour. With time it will abate, but not considerably, so any smokey tea that one has not witnessed being made is probably best put to one side.“
