I haven’t been drinking as my puer lately. I’ve been busy, & playing around with the Gaiwan takes attention & time. For the same reason, I’ve been neglecting my greens & oolongs, because I like them best steeped that way.
So today while I was teaching, I really wanted some of this! I peeled off a T of it, steeped 3 minutes, & it was delicious!!! Bold, smooth, with that vanilla sensation (not the flavor), & sweet too.
Second steeping: 4 min, 3rd @ 5min. Still awesome, just what I needed.

Tea while teaching is the best. Really makes the time go by more pleasantly. Not that I dislike teaching but since I do over four hours straight starting around 3pm every afternoon after spending 8 hours with my one year old, well let’s just say I need my tea — especially when I’ve got a student who didn’t practice. ;)
Definitely! I have students Mon, weds, & thurs from 10am -7 or 8pm, with an occasional break here & there. As each student arrives, I make tea for myself while they warm up. If the student is an adult, I make tea for them as well. And we have tea parties!
Sounds great!
The best part is, while I’m making tea they don’t think I’m listening, hahaha, even though some have been coming to me for years. So I can gauge their progress before they get nervous. :)
Terri! Thanks for the write-up on this tea! I am excited to tell you that I had secured the rest of the ripened material for the Phatty Cake and also acquired a grade 3 leaf from the same producer and am doing a new cake called “Phatty Cake: The Sequel”! I’m pumped… it’ll be similar, but the blended tea will have some variations to the Phatty Cake. The cakes are getting pressed in China next week. Can’t wait to get them! Wishing you great joy!
Cool Garret!
Keep me posted!
