This is my favorite tea and I have been burning through these with WFH meetings. It’s so easy to pop one of these in my mug with hot water and keep filling it up. It’s not so intricate that you feel bad about drinking it mindlessly. It gets me at least 3-4 full cups of tea. I have always loved this tea but it has become my best friend the last few weeks. I had so many stowed away and I am almost out of them. Someone recommend more pu-erhs that can be drank grandpa style

@derk I did! I love the earthy, Carmely coffee notes of this tea. I wish I could find an alternate until I get my order from w2t
Really, can’t most ripe pu be grandpa steeped? I like many of Teavivre’s ripes. And they have samples.
anutea, I don’t have any specific recommendations because my tastes don’t lean toward sweet shou, but pretty much everything I’ve had from Mandala has been very good. I know others here hold them in high esteem. I’d use their contact page to get some recs from the owner Garrett or his partner in tea.

If you are in the US, Mandala Tea is a fantastic option.
I have been wanting to order from them for a while. Any recommendations??

tea-sipper, that’s been my experience with the heavily fermented stuff :)
