Tasty, easy-drinking ripe puerh. Did about 4g in a 100 ml gaiwan. I only did one rinse, then started with short steep times, around 8-10 sec. Infusions 2-4 were rich, creamy, and chocolatey tasting. Later infusions had the iconic ripe “woody” taste. Only lasted me around 7 steeps, but a good daily drinker, especially in the winter.
Flavors: Chocolate, Wet Earth, Wood
A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.
I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.
My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.
I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
