Pu - erh Tea?

Saw a real cheap one in Centra/Spar, claimed it had a very smooth taste that I must admit I have never got from it as I have always found it to quite nice and earthy. I glanced at it sparingly so perhaps it was some bizarre blend.

Unicare Pharmacy used to do quite good offers on the original Pu-Erh. Think they're pretty much nationwide

Ummmmm yeah.......
If you're referring to me saying the "original pu-erh" then I mean the first company to produce it for consumption over here prior to other companies cottoning on that it's a big seller ie. Roberts etc.
Apparently it's the one Victoria Beckham uses so presumably it's the best then, right?:p

Ten Ren is def by far the best brand! I have been drinking it for over a year! All the other brands are just piss compared to it.

I buy 2 boxes of 50 for 33 Dollars including delivery buy UPS and it is way cheaper than buying one box of 20 over here which is 20Euro or something ridiculous!
