Puer Green and Puer Black Tea from Pique Tea Crystals

  By ,

After being impressed with Pique Tea‘s Wuyi Oolong and White Peony White Tea, I had to get my hands on their puer. Their puer sports 250-year-old trees and triple toxin screened for mold and metals. Pique Tea’s Pu’er Green Tea I used their suggested 175F/ 79c water, but I find going around 185-200F/ 85-93c has a more pleasing, stronger taste. However, if you do not like bitter, go to the 175F/ 79c water temperature. Pique Tea’s Puer Green is surprisingly good. It sips in smooth in texture tasting of driftwood with a strong stone fruit floral aftertaste that lingers for… Continue reading, hoot!

Pique Tea Crystals – Tea Review

  By ,

Pique Tea Crystals is an interesting new organic tea product – it is tea that has been brewed, then crystallized. Pique is packaged in individual servings, making for a convenient tea on the go, all you need is a vessel and water. Steeping Instructions I followed the instructions, which was 1 packet, to 8oz/1cup/250ml of hot water. They didn’t specify water temperature so I figured I would just use these instant tea packets as if I was in the wild, so around 200F water. I already failed with instructions and with the first attempt I added the Pique Tea Crystals to a… Continue reading, hoot!
