Realised I hadnt tried these yet & did a triple taste session.

This was the fruitiest of the Laos ‘border teas’ but also had some weird bitterness occasionally. I wasnt bad though, and turned into a nicer tea a bit later. I think brewing times are important with this one. It had a cooling effect & tasted younger/sharper than the others, It was a little feisty with its flavours, perhaps a good one to age.

I didnt really take notes, I just tried them at the same time and noted which I preferred each round. This was my least favourite but I still liked it enough to pick up a cake, which shows how much I liked the teas from Chawangshop.

I’ve had a tong of this tea crocked for two years now. It is definitely in a fermentation stage and the taste is much more sour bitter now. Will be a few years before it is drinkable again.

I would like to age stuff here but I need to get a decent setup. My place is so dry. Good for clearing fishy puerh smells though :D

Basically loads of Fenghuang, jade oolong & sheng puerh.

90+ is godly

80-90 is something i would buy again.

60-80 ok, but probably more bland or basic in their flavour.

0-60 something tastes wrong with this one.
