Came back from Beijing last week, having visited a tea shop, with a box of "Gao ji pu er tuo tea" The tea looks liked wrapped bonbons. I was told that this tea is good after eating a big, fatty meal.
The box has instructions for brewing, but as it's in Chinese, the only thing I can read is "90c-100c". I e-mailed the company, but didn't get a response yet.
So, can someone tell me what to do with my tea? I had a big, fatty meal tonight and would love to have a cup of the tea. Thanks.
Sounds to me like you have some individual-serving miniature cooked Pu-erh (
Brew them with boiling water for 4-5minutes (more or less, depending on how much you like it) and enjoy! :-D
I'm sure others will give more detailed information, but I suggest you just experiment with them; they should be quite forgiving to anything you throw at them.

the 90C-100C refers to temperature
Gao Ji means high grade. The xiao(small) tuos come in 5g and 10g sizes. I use about 3g for a cup and drink it off the top ie just add about 8oz boiling water. The high grade should mean more leaf settles on the bottom and less stem floating on the top. I drink it after every supper. You'll be ready for dessert. It's a grease cutter.

Thanks for your suggestions. I brewed some as you suggested and can really tell that it's a grease cutter. Much appreciated!
