Thanks to Wymm Tea for this sample :)

Okay, I love it. I might not be perfect with my puerh steeping and my palette isn’t trained to taste all the notes beyond the “sheng” taste, but this is calming tea with a nice thickness and sweetness. Of course, I’m using a makeshift setup since I don’t have a gaiwan or equivalent vessel, so I have a regular strainer inside a cup because if I put it in a teapot, the water doesn’t really cover the leaves enough to get a good steep! sigh

I steeped in 185 degree water (100ml) for 5,5,5,10, then increments of 5, then increments of 10 after 30 seconds.

Flavors: Creamy, Sweet

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 0 min, 15 sec 3 OZ / 100 ML

Learning more about tea every day.

Likes: Greens, whites, oolongs, blacks, and herbals! Just depends on the mood :)
Dislikes: Coconut, melon, chocolate, peach, cherry

I also collect antique teaware (Chinese and Japanese).

I’d love to try new types, varieties, etc. I’m still exploring pu-erh to make a complete decision whether to keep trying it or just count it as a loss.

I’d love to trade with anyone who likes something that I might have! I just have to get everything added to my cupboard first :)
