Does anyone here enjoy iced pu-erh? I made 5 cups of this pu-erh today:

Those I drank hot, and the 6th cup I put ice into. By "cups" I mean 8oz glasses or cups of tea.

Interesting.. Did you enjoy it? That's the main question that matters with tea!
I've only ever tried iced pu once and I was not a fan at all.. But that's just me and we all have different tastes!
I guess I'm a stick in the mud when it comes to the "traditional" way of doing things haha..

How is your pu-erh journey going? you seem to be trying lots of methods and ways of doing things, which is great!!

Just as long as you don't cold brew.

I tried it a few times in Shanghai tea shops. Bing puerh or bingpu. I wasn't a big fan of it but found shu tasted better than sheng. I agree with a previous post. Should not be cold brewed. Brew hot, cool, chill, serve. I will say, though, I had some on a typically hot and humid summer afternoon and it did refresh me.

Iced shu That does not sound very appetizing for me. Especially a low quality shu such as the one linked Not for me, but if you like it do it

I prefer oolongs for cold brewing--although mostly these days I give them about 5 minutes with boiling or near boiling water before covering with cool water and letting it sit and steep for many minutes to a few hours.

Even my mellowest shu pus were more hit or miss this way.

I have tried making Iced Shu as a means of using resteeped tealeaves with mixed success. I did not cold brew and sweeter teas without bitterness or bitter aftertaste seem to work best. I have never tried icing Sheng but may one day get around to trying it.

I did not cold brew the pu-erh. I have only done a cold brew with yerba mate and it worked well for the mate. The pu-erh tasted excellent. I had 5 cups of it hot. It was a mandarin orange pu-erh I got for Christmas as a gift, and it was from the New Mexico tea company.

I made some cold brewed shupu over the summer by leaving already-steeped leaves in a jug overnight. I think it was a 2L jug and 10g of leaf? Can't rightly remember.
