Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Smith Teamaker SHU CHA PU-ERH TEA BLEND NO. 3 different from other pu erh teas?
This shu (ripe) pu erh blend offers a balanced, approachable profile with smooth notes and natural sweetness. The 1 lb loose leaf format preserves the full character of the fermented leaves, delivering superior depth compared to broken pieces or dust.

How much caffeine does this pu erh tea contain?
As a fermented pu erh tea, this blend contains a moderate caffeine level—typically 30-50 mg per 8 oz cup, depending on steeping time and leaf-to-water ratio. It's lower than black tea but offers more sustained energy than herbal infusions.

Can I re-steep the leaves multiple times?
Yes. Pu erh tea is renowned for its ability to yield 5-10+ infusions. Rinse the leaves briefly before the first steep, then increase steeping time slightly with each subsequent brew to unlock evolving flavors.
