Thank you to the good tea friend who gave me this sample. I would say that this is good tea, but that would be an understatement. I think that this may be the tastiest sheng puerh I have ever drank. I drank it without any sugar, which is unusual for me. I’d say it got less bitter as I resteeped it but that would suggest it had any noticeable bitterness at all. There was no noticeable bitterness to this tea from the first steep. It was sweet from the beginning with notes of apricots and stonefruits along with I think a little bit of smoke. This tea also seemed to have a potent qi, it had quite an effect on me, I was almost teadrunk. I have to obtain a cake of this when I have the budget for an order from Teaurchin.

I steeped this eleven times in a 120ml gaiwan with 6.1g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 10 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, 2 min, 2.5 min and 3 min. I still have the leaves to this and may resteep it a couple more times tomorrow.

Flavors: Apricot, Stonefruit

This was really, really good. If I say a tea is sweet without any sugar I mean it.

Veronica

I may need to get my hands on some of this.

AllanK

This was so good I almost didn’t review it. I don’t want it to sell out before I get to buying one.

Veronica

Now that is a tea recommendation! :)

You have nothing to fear from me. :) My tea budget is spoken for, and the $20 shipping is kinda scary! I’d want to buy more to make it worthwhile…

I forgot to write in my review that this has a percentage of real LBZ material, I don’t know what percentage.

I think it is 10% LBZ.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
