First taste of Pu-erh
"I recently tried the 2016 Authentic Bing Dao Arbor Tree Raw Pu-erh Tea Dragon Balls from MeiMei Fine Teas, and it has quickly become one of the most memorable teas I’ve had in a long time. I was immediately drawn to the earthy tones—deeper and more grounding than what I typically find in green or white teas—which made the session feel especially calming. As I spent more time with it, I began to notice the qualities that make Bing Dao material so sought‑after. There’s a gentle rock‑sugar sweetness that rises after the first few steeps, along with a refreshing, almost mint‑like cooling sensation that lingers in the throat. The mouthfeel is surprisingly silky for a young raw pu‑erh, and the returning sweetness (hui gan) builds in a way that encourages slow, mindful sipping. Even with my unrefined palate, this tea made an impression—balanced, clean, and quietly complex. It’s the kind of tea that invites you to slow down and appreciate each infusion. If you’re curious about high‑quality raw pu‑erh or want something that showcases the elegance of Bing Dao material, this is absolutely worth trying. MeiMei Fine Teas delivered a beautiful experience here, and I’m glad I took the chance on it."
A unique tea ball
"Very sweet and very pretty, it gives you a honey like aftertaste. A treat indeed."
Tea and Service
"Wonderful tea living up to expectations. Excellent service. My tea came very quickly. I’m so pleased that I just put in another large order."
Taste great
"I love this tea. I have been drinking puerh tea for several years, and this is the first time I found that puerhs can actually be sweet like a sugarcane! It is so smooth and easy on my throat. It also can be brewed many times, bringing a satisfying lift throughout my day."
Heavenly Sweet
"Smooth,sweet, feels like silk roll off on your tongue. Taste heavenly."
Pure
"I waited to do this review bc I felt like the brewing process I was doing for this tea wasn't doing it justice at first. Now that I used a gaiwan and the right amount of leaf, it is easily the best pu'erh I have ever had. I remember the wet leaf smelling like sugarcane and baked/cooked banana. The taste itself was more toward the sugarcane. Very pure."

"Great tasting, the dragon ball is tasted like the description. MeiMei fine tea is a great place to buy authentic Chinese tea!"
