Spoiled to call this my staple, wish I had got a tong when I had the chance. I wont repeat all the reasons I enjoy this but to reinforced this isnt the most complex or gushu material it is just good honest bulang. I love this stuff and I am not sure if not taste buds have become accustom to this tea or what but it just tastes nice and sweet I could hardly make it bitter. I especially enjoy the way the tea coats the tongue and roof of the mouth and slowly drys. I could feel it slide down the sides of my tongue and slightly dry out the roof of my mouth.

Side note I had some cold brewed bai hao yin zhen prior and the whole day I felt incredibly tea drunk so I think I isolated this whole dopey numb feeling with puer and bai cha maybe theanine over dose? Not literally over dose but there were times when I was literally hearing and seeing everything distorted for a good hour or so. My pupils were so constricted I could have passed for a doper. Another note to self don’t combine white tea and puer unless you don’t mind being in a dopey, extremely mild hallucinogenic state for 70% of the day lol. I love when people ask whats the matter and I almost say “too much tea” but to the uninitiated that sounds unfathomable so I usually lie and insert something more relatable.

I try to refrain from numerically rating a tea until I have tried brewing at least an oz of it with various different parameters and vessels (hotter/colder water, longer/shorter times, yixing/gaiwan etc)
