Loose leaf pu-erhs are a great thing to have around the office…
I got this today from Mandala and couldn’t wait to try it.
First steep for around 45 seconds is earthy with a nice forest floor aroma, slight bit of chocolate, clean and smooth. There’s a bit of sweetness in the finish too. So far I like it!
Second steep also around 45 seconds. Color is a bit darker now and it has a great creamy quality… delicious and luscious for a pu-erh with no muddy flavor, I like this very much.
I think I will let Garret pick all of my pu-erh teas from now on. :)

What I’d really like to do is prepare tea for you sometime, girl! That’d be a gas! I have to get you some of the 2005 golden gong ting while we still have some in stock. That is, if you haven’t tried it yet. I am very glad that you enjoyed this one, too!! Out of 100 kg’s bought that year, we still have 40 or so left! Gosh, I love the smell in our pu’er vault. Which literally is a vault as our biz is housed in a 1970’s built bank!
I want to join the two of you! :)
I am hoarding my pu-erh for the most part until this wild ride portion of our lives is more settled – its been a very busy roller coaster few months – all positive for the most part but challenging. :) I intend to have some ME and PU time soon!
You are more than welcomed to join us! ’Twould be a barrel of fun!!
Someday I will come to see you, I swear it!
Yes!! And someday, I will come to SF again. I was there last in August 2010! too long… I gotta stop going to China :)
