Making pu-erh tea simply by pouring boiling water over it will not work: this drink requires a different approach.
First of all, you need to break off a piece from the pressed pu-erh and place it in cold water for a few minutes, after which you need to use the Lu Yu method - to throw the already soaked tea leaves into a teapot filled with one liter of water, practically brought to a boil. As soon as the water boils completely, the container must be removed from the heat and the tea should be infused for 10 minutes. After that, you can drink.
