Thanks to boychik for this sample!

These are my unedited notes:

“Holy crap, omg, amazing! Smells like jam, sweet dates or something. Tastes like caramel, fruit, cocoa, sweet, clean, amazing Shou!!!!”

Ya, I guess I’m buying a cake of this one. And I need a bigger puerh drawer! ;)

Sounds amazing. I would have gotten a sample of it but I just finished placing my YS order this morning. Oh well! Next time.

Tealizzy

They have almost 300 available, so I don’t think you have to worry! But yes, definitely check it out!

@tealizzy – the pumidrawer expands into pumidrawerS, and then you have a shengidor and a shoumidor….

Tealizzy

Lol! @MzPriss it’s so easy to justify buying more, since they don’t go bad, but I’m trying to be realistic so far. ;)

mrmopar

Yep, Tealizzy is on the pumidor prediction..

Tealizzy

Ha! You’ll have to teach me all your wisdom, mrmopar!

@telizzy – mr mo is an awesome teacher and has given me a ton of advice on setting up my storage (he IS the PuRu after all). He predicted a pumidor for me too. He’s usually right. Good luck with that “realistic” thing.

MzPriss

ooops sorry for the type tealizzy

mrmopar

@MzPriss, How is that thing working for you?

MzPriss

@mr mo – AWESOME! I unwrapped several of my cakes to check for mold and so far so good and it smells delicious in there. It will come as no surprise to you, but I’m getting ready to expand. I’m going to make my shumidor using a grow tent from amazon. A SMALL grow tent. I’m probably going to order it today. The shou stash is getting big, bless my heat.

Ubacat

MzPriss , that sounds really interesting. Hope you post pictures of it and how you set it up when you get it.

Tealizzy

Oh yes, pics please MzPriss! :)

MzPriss

OK I will post when it’s done. Totally stole the idea from Brenden at Whispering Pines.

Another profile facelift! My tastes have changed a lot from when I first discovered loose leaf tea.

I can trace my tea journey back to October 2012, when I discovered DavidsTea. Before that, I had the occasional cup and enjoyed high tea at An Afternoon to Remember, which has since closed.

I went through a period of wanting to try all the teas, and was really into flavored teas, especially dessert blacks, but my tastes have substantially changed over time.

I still enjoy the occasional flavored black or rooibos, but I’m more into unflavored black teas right now and recently, puerh. Chinese black teas are amazing…with their notes of chocolate or sweet potato, who needs a flavored tea? I had a much steeper learning curve when it came to puerh. I used to dump out cups of puerh for tasting like leather. Now, I am really enjoying them. I think it took finding good quality puerh and steeping them gong fu style to really enjoy them.

I also, on occasion, enjoy a good oolong, white, or green tea.

Favorite tea companies right now include: Mandala, Teavivre, Butiki, Golden Moon, Lupicia, and DavidsTea (for teaware mostly).

Just a note: I don’t rate my teas numerically because my iPad doesn’t like the scroll bar. Maybe someday that will change…hint hint, steepster! ;)

P.S. My profile picture is of one of my 2 cats, Holly, who is a little princess but very photogenic, and she loves boxes, including those that bring me tea! :)
