Oh wow, oh wow.
I nearly bought one of everything from Mandala’s website after my first sip of this. I’m still probably going to go back and buy a few somethings.
Started with a 15-second rinse, followed by a couple minutes rest, and then a 10-second steep. Increased steep to 10-20 seconds in subsequent cups.
This somehow reminds me of both a candle shop during the holidays and an outdoor flea market. It’s leather and spices, I think that’s the connection. It’s so comforting and familiar.
If anyone has recommendations for others like this, please share! I’d love to find something similar since I know this is no longer available.

Yeah, that’s a good one. Maybe Garret at Mandala can recommend something similar from his collection.
Oh that would be wonderful! I’ve been looking at the site trying to find something similar.
I think the 108 would be one as well as the new Alchemy. The materials sound like very good sourcing.
Ooh thank you! Looking those up now.
Yeah no worries. Mandala does some fine shou for sure.
oh I have a mix bag of Mandala’s mini tuochas – I will have to see if I have any of these and steep it up.
I’m drinking this now! I think many of Teavivre’s ripes are like this one.
Oh I will check theirs, thank you! I’ve got the Mandala mini tuocha sampler in my cart. Plus a full Verdant cart. What’s one more?? There goes my tea budget, oh goodness! XD
haha yes. Now I’m imagining an actual “full cart” of tea, like in a grocery store.
I think that’s exactly how I imagined it as I was typing! I think my order would at least fill one of those little baskets, no problem.
