What it does

  • Pu-erh
  • Tea cake
  • 12.6 oz
  • Chinese tea

Who it suits

  • brewing where you control the quantity, the water temperature and the steep time
  • tasting how a leaf changes over several infusions

Who should skip it

  • a no-measure mug of tea, which needs an infuser or strainer
  • anyone without a way to strain the leaves

The thing worth knowing

Loose leaf keeps well if it is sealed and kept away from light, heat and moisture. Use short steeps and several infusions rather than one long one, and match the temperature to the type: cooler for green, hotter for black and pu-erh.

What we have not done

We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
