I did a no no by checking the price after I started drinking this because it was either one of two things: a cheap tea that is badass and nobody has been talking about or an expensive tea that I have yet to be exposed to.
Turns out it’s at the mid to high spectrum as far as pricing goes: $13 for a 25g sample is still rather cheap when you think about it as 10+ hours of drinking between multiple sessions.

Anyways, I began brewing this knowing nothing about it because I just pick samples up with no thought anymore; when you have 150+ it just seems like the way to go.
This tea brewed a middle level color with a rather easily picked up aroma that I could say is strong but others may not think so. The first sip was when I knew this was going to be one of the ones I will drink for the rest of the day. Head of the tea has a strength to it that kind of fades, but that taste just goes right to the mouth feel. Lots of subtle tingling going on with this tea. Really enjoying the complexity of the taste as it doesn’t go one way or the other, I decided to put a few steps aside to cool down. Results came back once I tasted them, this is one of the few sheng (about 1 in 20 that I drink) that is good cold, luke warm, and hot! Most pu’erh ends up being really unpleasant when it cools down which is why I test them… I find it fun.

I would clearly recommend picking up a sample of this if I was you. With under 30 cakes left, the price will continue to go up. Now these cakes are 400g so that puts it at 35 cents per gram so you would be looking at $2 per session and I can confirm that this will go for hours. One thing to note about this is that this tea is only a few years old at this point which is awesome because there isn’t a mouth bite to it with that tingling; which I should add doesn’t have the mouth dryness that a strong new DHP tends to give.
