- Is all Ripe PuErh earthy and cavernous? NO! It all depends on the picking and processing and a good Gong Ting Ripe can be super creamy. Ever since we sold out of After Party Enchanter - our previous Gong Ting Ripe PuErh cake - we have been searching for a successor. A fermented tea which is creamy, comforting and luxurious. A brew that will keep you company into the wee hours for those long flowing conversations or time for yourself.

I have been drinking bag tea all my life until a few weeks ago when I found your channel and learned about Gongfu brewing and I immediately wanted to try. I bought some loose leaf tea and ordered a Gongfu set but the tea got here first and I really didn't want to wait to try it. Instead of using a gaiwan I used a measuring cup and something to cover the top. I didn't really know what I was doing and still the tea tasted better than any tea bag I have ever had, but that wasn't what made it better. What made it better was that I got to bond with my mom over a 2 and a half hour tea session, something I never get to do. Gongfu brewing will forever hold a place in my heart now, thank you so much Don!
Your comment earned my heart. Good bless you, your Mum, your future and you tea.
Welcome to the world of tea. It's beautiful.
Great video! Have you guys considered (or maybe have already) making limited edition items with some of your "cover art" on them? That would be cool to have a shirt with some of (Fig Dipper!) Celine's awesome artwork.
Absolutely agree!
Can confirm it is rather "milky." And extremely smooth. *So* very smooth. Two years later and I still have some left. I'm looking forward to a reorder if there's still some available. If not... then I'm left with some lovely tea memories, fair enough.
Wow! Sounds amazing!
I love those large, in-depth videos
How is this channel not bigger?
Loving Ripe PuErh - you converted me with Bulang Brittle, then Nug Bake - then that led me to Fig Dipper (going to need another one as half-way through the cake in less than a month) and now adding this. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME MEI LEAF?!?!? And my warmest regards to your family and the celebration PuErh - unfortunately that's a out of my reach, but a lovely way to mark the occasion as well as make and then keep fond memories.
Already bought before the video was released^^
What a coincidence! I had pulled out Afterparty before settling down to watch this week's video! (I know I'm late but this week has been busy!) Glad to still have some :)
Love that kyusu
Oh it's a beautiful tea *-*
Super yummy. Had a ripe two days ago in my bigger Yixing and it also _knocked my socks off_ after the third brew, so I had to throw the tea away cause it would have been too much for the lasting evening. Only small pots, teaheads, only small pots...
I'm not a big ripe puerh fan but this tea is awesome it's so mellow and smooth. I would highly recommend this tea for someone like me that doesn't really like the very caverness and earthy ripe puerh teas.
You're aMAZing, Don!
I personally think that a Gong Ting is almost 100% buds. It's just like eating a dessert.
I'm seeing comments about bad experiences with this tea so I want to share my experience: the first time I brewed this tea, I rinsed it by pouring hot water on it and then immediately pouring it out, then drank the subsequent brews without a filter. Those first two infusions tasted very strongly of clay and even though I enjoyed the subsequent infusions, I was underwhelmed with the experience.
The second time I brewed it, I let the rinse soak into the tea for a few seconds (no more than 5-10 seconds) and then used a stainless steel filter (a brewing basket designed for a western-style infusion in a tea mug) for every other infusion. It made a huge difference! If there was a clay taste, it was very light underneath the other tasting notes (for me, dark caramel, milk cookies, a hint of dark chocolate and just a creamy richness overlaying everything). It's not particularly sweet, which some people may expect based on the dessert-related tasting notes, but it creates and leaves in the mouth a very rich and creamy sensation.
Omg!! I love APE. Looking forward to taste MFN!
It is a more than worthy successor
@@MeiLeaf you absolutely nefarious fiend!!!
How dare you!!!
I'll have to grab one now
I love Puer cha!
As I heard "Ice cream" I had to have some of the icecream that I bought yesterday. Salted caramel icecream :D Good one for watching this video!
Thank you for this comment. I just grabbed some of my milk tea ice cream as a result and enjoyed the video even more!
10:26 good that I'm watching this with headphones
Omg, just realized that you literally are THE Don
I got some of this in the PuErh headliner pack but it just smelled/tasted like wood/earth/leather :(
I wonder if doing something wrong like crumbling it too much could have caused that because it was like a completely different tea to what everyone else seems to be describing.
I bought a few tasters of ripe puerh and it was extremely tightly packed, I feel like I received the middle part of the cake which seems to be a lower quality part of the tea cake. When I try to break it up it becomes almost dust.
Maybe I just got unlucky with my small sample size. I wonder if a whole cake would taste different, with all the outside and inside leafs mixed up but it's a very high investment for a tea that I am not sure about.
I have never seen a shu brewed in Tokoname)
Weird marriage between tropican Yunnan and Central Japan
he probably has a fairly big stash of those kyusu’s left in the warehouse.
Wow, have you recently done something about the video quality? Finally looks reaaally crisp on my 1440p monitor.
@Mei Leaf Tea, Don as a Tea Aficionado, are there any tea expos (Hong Kong)(Shenzhen) that you could recommend for a new tea enthusiast?
10:27 :D :D Da Ripe Punch. :D :D
When are the Jianshui cups coming back in stock? Thanks for the video :)
Hey Don, how much should I spend for my first Gong Fu tea set?
When is the chawan back in your shop? My birthday is in 9 days and I want to buy one.
I'm drinking "Chinese Dragon Green Tea" which I got from the supermarket for 2 and a half euros :| Cheers
leather and sandalwood!
Arrrgh... I need more money!
I don't get it :( all I tasted was leather or wet wood. I don't get the dark sugar, creamy notes. Am I doing it wrong?
Mia Lopez did you let it sit ripe puerh needs to sit
@@karlunderwood1144 Oh, interesting! I wonder how long I have to let it sit for - so many suggestions online, from a day up to months. I have to mention that I live in very humid Manila, Philippines.
Surely 25s for the first infusion, as suggested on the website, is slightly excessive?
i mean, they are only guidelines. some teas do require a good first extraction seems as the first infusion can be lacking body.
How is this guys tastebuds so sensitive?
If you had as much money on the line yours would be too! 🤔😉
Your sheet guideline says 5g for ripe puErh, but you used 8.5g?
Frederik Zitzmann I suppose, but just because it’s 170ml doesn’t mean you have to fill it to the top, right?
@@BlakeP16 he doesn't have to, but he did.
Pu erh contains around 0 grams of fat and 0.1g of protein, less than 1 gram of carbs. Can it be fatty or creamy without milk?-)
Lactones can contribute to creamy taste and I am sure that there are other similar compounds created during fermentation.
Thirst!
But it should stick together as a cake, Don, I think.
tastes like raw salmon and mayonnaise
"Let me say categorically that I am sorry if I caused any genuine offence to anyone with this sticker. I clearly did not appreciate the level of feeling surrounding the headdress and had no intention to stir up negative connotations. I meant absolutely no disrespect to the Native-American community." Then don't be a mindless "teahead" and think before you do things.
Wasn't that like...two years ago? In which time there was already a reflective apology written? Don't you have anything better to do?
@@steeping It never ceases to amaze me how toxic the tea community can be. Especially over an incident which quite frankly though silly and insensitive realistically hurt absolutely no one.
What? Really? I am a member of the Choctaw Indian Nation out of eastern Oklahoma. I take no offense to any sports teams, any head symbolism’s, or any non degrading use of American Indians. Most of us with Indian blood actually like that kind of thing, because it reminds people that we have had a past, and most people think that we are all dead and gone. We are still here. We kind of look at people using are cultural imagines in positive ways as a good thing.
@@jasonsteiner8629 The people I know surely don't agree with you and neither do a lot of the native organizations who are out there working to change culturally appropriated and misused cultural images, etc.
@@steeping Clearly you don't either in feeling the need to comment. And two years ago doesn't mean shit, especially when his apology wasn't even an apology.
