Rose Pu-erh
By Valley Green Tea
Posted On February 15, 2011
Ingredients:
- Pu-erh tea: serve of your choice
- Rose buds: 5-7
Preparation:
- Put pu-erh tea to a medium size teapot, add hot water and dispose the liquid after 10 seconds. Repeat this for a couple of times (rinsing pu-erh teas with hot water)
- Add rose buds in and infuse for 1 minutes before serving
- The tea could be used repeatedly by just adding hot water to it
Pu-erh tea has a natural earthy flavour that many tea drinkers enjoy. The rose buds however can add just an edge by their elegant fragrance, enough to lift the earthy pu-erh tea off the ground: still pu-erh but with a nice zing.
