First, yay, for this new official Whispering Pines Great Lakes Label Shu Pu-erh, what a creative idea!!! It fits so well with WP brand name, great job Brenden :-)
I received this generous sample in my last order, thank you Brenden.
Does pu’erh still scare some of you? Like, it’s been on your mind, but you are still hesitant about it?
The descriptors “fishy, barn, leather, pond water, seaweed” revolt you?
Then give this a try. This is as smooth as can be.
The pu’erh for the non believers.
Cause it is silky and creamy beyond belief.
The dry leaf is quite unusual, all golden, just stunning .
It produces a dark warm copper brew.
First sip and I think, wow…this is so what I need right now.
Silky and velvety, coats my entire mouth with mellow and sweet.
Everything is subtle but far from being boring. I get notes of cereals, like toasted bran.
It’s also a bit fruity, dried fruits, like raisins with a soft cocoa feel.
Yum, chocolate covered raisins. It’s a little earthy and woodsy, but nothing like most shou pu’erh.
The later steeps bring a nice minty finish, that fresh mouthfeel I like so much.
This tea brings me to a tranquil and beautiful place. It warms my heart and fills my head with happy.
And yes…I will need more of this.
Thanks again Brenden for this wonderful offering…And congratulations for the launch of the Great Lakes collection!

Sounds yummy. But I am suspicious. LOL Maybe I will start busting out my shous and give them another try!
I should say that I need to get over my general fear of shous.
Well this one is taylor made for you then!
I just saw the announcement on FB. Such a great idea! Now if only September would get here so I can place my order…. :)
Hmmm… maybe. I’m certainly willing to try!
You can do it Sars. A couple of months ago you were hesitant about sheng and now you play with the shengaling on an almost daily basis. ;p
Okay, you talked me into it, I want some now.
Well when you put it THAT way, mrmopar. I did try a wet stored sheng tonight. Not a fan. I am also drinking a White2 shou right now. I don’t HATE it, but…
Sarsonator, is it the earth that gets you?
Lariel, how do you feel about shou pu’erh in general?
I like shou… it is the puer I’ve had most.
