Hello --

I've got hold of some 'pu-erh yunnan tea' - how does one infuse etc ?
Presumably they can be steeped multiple times ?

Chris,

Assuming this is an oxydized pu-erh, and we can probably say that, use water
right off the boil, do a quick rinse of the leaves -- that is, quickly pour

Hi Michael --

Actually its moulded - in the form of mini 'tau-chas' (sp?) wrapped in tissue
paper.

I presume boiling water still though. Is this a tea that can be infused
multiple times ?

Good. Makes things simple. Just figure your mini tuo-cha thing will serve
for a cup's worth, and yes, by all means steep multiple times. If you like
it, you'll want to graduate away from mini t-c's to loose leaf or bigger
pu-erh cow pies. (Figuratively speaking, I hasten to add.)
