I have been enjoying this lovely ripe puerh yesterday evening and this afternoon in my xiying fish teapot.
I’ve been savoring shus a lot in the past few weeks. A few years ago I was having stomach pains and I went into a Chinese tea shop (that was also a liquor store) in San Francisco. The saleswoman said puerh is the least acidic of teas. I agree, at least on the cooked side of puerh.
This brick seems to be lightly fermented and it’s definitely mellow. Tea liquor is a reddish brown and has elements of earth, cinnamon and cocoa powder with no discernible bitterness. Aroma has a slight tobacco but doesn’t really have the bitter tobacco taste you sometimes find. Some shus are sweet and velvety, this one isn’t, but it has a lot of nice qualities just the same and I am appreciating it a lot. It gives a nice, cozy feeling.
On the wish list it goes!
p.s. I gave some to my boyfriend last night for his opinion and he said: “it tastes like tea”. lolol.

Love it. When I doubt what to drink before bed this one always there for me . My hubby likes it. He doesn’t admit though but always stealing a cup fr me ;)
I didn’t think it was too energizing but I couldn’t fall asleep last night, I’d better avoid those evening pu’erhs!
