This was a creamy, earthy shu puerh that lasted several steepings. It was a bit weak for the first few steeps, I manually separated the nuggets per the suggestion of another reviewer, and that certainly helped subsequent steepings. I get some camphor, mineral, as well as creamy, buttery and vanilla notes. This was a smooth, interesting shu and was a fun gongfu session.

Bio

I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
