My incredibly awesome sister got me this as a gift. Can anyone identify it? Or recommend brewing amount/times? I have only had the mini tuo chas up to now!

Re: Puer tea cake?
My pu-erh palate is still rather unrefined - lack of variety and budget. I like the difference in the flavors of pu-erh compared to many of my other teas. That being said, "tourist fare" tea is probably what most of my pu-erh tea has been. *shrugs* Better than none at all.
Can you at least give me an idea of what the label says?
Thank you.

Re: Puer tea cake?
question: Do you like it? May not be the super cake, but doesn't need to be bad either 
Re: Puer tea cake?
Tourist fare or not, if it's raw puerh then infuse about 5g in 150ml of water at 90-95 Celsius. Discard first steeping then infuse repeatedly until it loses its flavour. I find that the first one takes about 30 secs, the next few are little more than washes and then back up to 30 secs or longer as the flavour starts to wane. I know others like theirs stronger but I like to savour the subtle flavours...
