Purchased from a well respected collector in Taiwan at a higher price than normal for the storage and retention of how strong this tea can be.
All funds on this specific brick serve two purposes:
1. Building trust/relationship with a new collector for future offerings
2. Money going right back into the puerh beginner projects which is separate from the business but I’m being transparent that I am doing so with this

Mandala TeaHoo, it seems I’ve overestimated my current capability to triumphantly return to Steepster with gusto. Life continues to be busy, and I’ve missed logging a lot of tea that I’ve poured down my gullet. Patience with myself is the hardest patience to practice.
I started this session last night and ended it this morning. The compression is so tight that the large bundle I broke off never broke up on its own — a phenomenon I had not experienced yet. After several long and frankly underwhelming steeps, I finally reached in and broke that thing up manually, then hit it hard and long for 2 or 3 licorice-laced cups that were legitimately enjoyable. I’ll be curious to see what a better break-up does for these leaves right from the get go.
Flavors: Licorice
