Came back from Beijing last week, having visited a tea shop, with a box of
"Gao ji pu er tuo tea" The tea looks liked wrapped bonbons. I was told that
this tea is good after eating a big, fatty meal.

The box has instructions for brewing, but as it's in Chinese, the only thing
I can read is "90c-100c". I e-mailed the company, but didn't get a response
yet.

So, can someone tell me what to do with my tea? I had a big, fatty meal
tonight and would love to have a cup of the tea. Thanks.

Sounds to me like you have some individual-serving miniature cooked
Pu-erh ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-erh_tea ) tuos! :-P

Brew them with boiling water for 4-5minutes (more or less, depending on
how much you like it) and enjoy! :-D

I'm sure others will give more detailed information, but I suggest you
just experiment with them; they should be quite forgiving to anything
you throw at them.

the 90C-100C refers to temperature

Gao Ji means high grade. The xiao(small) tuos come in 5g and 10g
sizes. I use about 3g for a cup and drink it off the top ie just add
about 8oz boiling water. The high grade should mean more leaf settles
on the bottom and less stem floating on the top. I drink it after
every supper. You'll be ready for dessert. It's a grease cutter.

Boil up a qt of water, drop the unwrapped tea into a qt mason jar, add
an inch of boiling water and swirl the tea around for 20 seconds and
carefully pour the water off, add the rest of the boiling water. In 1-4
minutes the tea will be strong enough to suit you.

Thanks for your suggestions. I brewed some as you suggested and can really
tell that it's a grease cutter. Much appreciated!
