Pu-Erh from Hong Yuet Tea

Out of courtesy, I purchased a can of Pe-Erh from Red Moon (Hong Yuet) Teahouse (MOP88 = S$15). The tea has to be rinsed twice and also to "loosen" the tea ball. The liquor is very dark almost opague and smells almost medicinal.

After 2 rinses, the tea is still very strong and has a strong earthy taste, I think it is also rather acidic and bitter and I can feel a strong dryness in mouth after swallowing. After about 5 brews, the tea does loosen up a bit, but it does not go down the throat smoothly.

The spent tea leaves are "minced", there are no whole tea leaves to speak of. Probably the tea leaves were machined picked.

In summary, not worth the money. I rather spend money on grocery and snacks.
