Pu-erh Tea

So, a friend of mine in China hooked me up with some Pu-erh tea. (He owns a tea/import business) I have read the sites and it looks promising.

Pu-erh tea is considered to be a "slimming tea" in China. When I asked him about the popular "Wu-long" Or Oolong tea that is being marketed here as a weight loss tea. He informed me that it was a joke. None of the Chinese use that tea as a "slimming" tea. And it's a rip off! Good think I didn't buy any.

The tea is pretty good. I had a some this morning. It's a dark tea and it's a perfect replacement to my morning coffee. Though it doesn't have as much caffeine in is as the coffee did, I think that it will be a great replacement.
