I came across a sample of this from Sil, and since I’m still working on clearing out all my samples and smaller quantities, it was a good day for this one, going with short steepings.
The early steeps were wood, with a matte finish (don’t ask me what that means)
Then wood and earth melded, and the color was a rich mahogany.
I didn’t take extensive notes, but I can say that this tea developed a satisfying depth, mildly bitter & almost coffee like in depth, though not in taste.
That’s all I got! Sipdown!

i miss my puerh….
did you give up? :shockedface:
no..just haven’t had time to actually sit and focus on it. Hoping that maybe i can start setting aside time every sunday or something… now that our life is starting to settle down….been a bit of a crazy time with the wedding, the dog, work etc… starting to slow down heh
ah ok, I thought it might be one of those stomach aches people sometimes get from puerh
that would be the worst! heh
I hear what you’re saying. it’s so hard to find time to JUST drink tea, and some teas really require that, at least in my life.
I agree, any teas that are high enough quality to be beyond a certain price point require focused attention when drinking. Whispering Pines teas are really good but it is rare for me to be able to create the space needed for them.
