Is this cheap, "Heck, no."

Is this good, "Yes!"

Pu-erhs (ooo-air)are made into little (or big) cakes of tea, and then allowed to ferment (rot). Bad Pu-erh tastes like tea left to rot. This definitely does not. It has a warm oak flavor.

Pu-erhs are "double-fermented". Tea makers let the tea oxidize like black tea, and then form the leaves into cakes. Pu-erhs take awhile to ferment; they actually have vintages like wine and can be as old as 40 or 50 years. Because of the longer processing time, pu-erhs are generally more expensive, so this isn't a bad price for pu-erh, although it is a little pricey for tea.

This is good pu-erh for other reasons: unless you have a tea diffuser, you can't make pu-erh teas--they're not generally sold in bags. If you're not really into buying a lot of tea accoutrement, e.g., an American, these bags are a real find.

Each one will more than handily make 3 or 4 cups of tea when steeped in a several cup teapot--or you can steep repeatedly for a different taste with each cup.

i was honestly a little afraid to try this tea because it gets so many mixed reviews in general and especially after reading about pu-erh's fermentation process. But I am so glad that i didn't let all of that discourage me. This is a very smooth, rich, full-bodied tea that satisfies someone like me who drinks lots of bold dark coffee. It definitely has a very earthy taste that is very invigorating any time of the day. I used to think that black tea was my favorite but that has definitely changed!! What makes this specific brand better as well is the fact that the seller is extremely fast at shipping the item!!

I am throoughly convinced that this tea has improved the metabolism of my friend who had hit a weight loss plateau while still extremely overweight.

Good tasting, rich tea - several cups' worth per teabag. And outstanding customer service from Generation Tea, thanks guys!!

Great when you dont have time to prepare the loose tea. Very tasty! Much enjoyable tea.
