Part of the gifted shou box from Rich, thanks!
This one started off strong, dark, chocolately and a hint of sweetness. I will experiment with times and amount of leaf, but even the last weak and watery 20 min steep is nice. A bit of camphor comes through in the last steeps and the chocolate has fled. What a nice shou puerh!
This is You :-D
Profile
Bio
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
