its back in stock. I am so happy.
This is, for me, the kind of time when the puerh gods are at peace & the flavour planets align. The huigan combines in my throat, mouth & head to form a wondrous taste. I mean seriously, this stuff has returning fruit game.
This is a perfect example of how sheng can taste once in the mouth, and then transform into something else a few minutes later. It is really soft & juicy, forgiving, even a hint of smoke or tobacco (and I hate that profile usually) but balanced in such a way it makes them all work.
I am grateful to a bad pasty for sharing a sample with me in the first place, and I would also like to thank the fact it was out of stock when I went to buy some after said sample, which caused a great low that made this high even higher -
I emailed Glen a couple of weeks ago saying how much I liked it and he informed me they have bought more and its in stock again.
Delicious stuff.

Yeah, I know.. re: cost. its a lovely tea though. it was from Yunnan. that was a week or two back though, not sure if they are in the US or not. Defo get a sample and try it, I think its great, sometimes it has attained that perfect moment status. such a nice huigan & soft feel
Disappointed because I was in talks with Glen at Crimson Lotus to purchase some of this after finding out about it here. Glen said I could do a custom order and asked if I wanted the tea in a clay pot or a pu-erh wrapper only. I replied and said just the tea, but he never responded. I gave it a couple weeks and wrote again, asking if the tea is still available by custom order. Again, no response. I saw CL is active on instagram so I sent a msg through that in case there was a problem with my email going through. No response to my message there either. Thought I’d really enjoy this because you gave my favorite raw pu-erh (Bana Tea Mengsung Secret Garden) a 100 score and figured we might have similar taste. Oh well.
Tempted, but confused. Don’t see this on the website.
its not been put up yet – you can email CLT and just do a paypal transfer.
its 45c/g abouts. They do it in a nice clay pot but I asked for a larger amount without the pot
Woosh, there goes my money. Was this shipped from China or the US?
