I’m really enjoying this tea. This has been my go-to. It smells like a dry summer day on an herb farm I worked at one summer. It was a particularly hot/dry summer for New Jersey and the farm was kind of overrun with buckwheat. It was only a few acres so we hand weeded the whole farm, this tea reminds me a lot of that. Composting herbs, in a humid environment, that have been dried out by a heat wave. Which is a super pleasant thing to me. That is what I’m hit with upfront, then the apricot flavors come as time goes on.
This has been my go-to for everyday casual drinkin because there is no super subtle huigan or floral taste, so I dont feel too bad drinking this unfocused or on the go. Also it gives my spring tea a rest. I find it tough to drink very aged tea when its hot, flavor wise, and the fresh stuff is almost too good to have ALL the time
Flavors: Apricot, Compost, Herbaceous

One of the better tuos around that age IMO.
Agreed, I’ve been crock storing mine for some time now. I can’t drink much aged in the summer either. Fresh Pu just works so well to cool me off.
Yeah I’m definitely happy with the price and quality. A lot tastier then the Xiaguan stuff of the same age and price. Cwyn, do you ice your fresh pu to cool off? Or is it just the nature of the tea?
It is just the tea. Really any green tea will do this. I have a lot of water retention from meds and health issues, it is worse in the hot summers. Old ladies have swelled up ankles, legs etc. it feels very tiring. Two cups of a strong green tea like fresh puerh and the aching goes away. I’m rid of the swelling in about 90 minutes as long as I’m relaxing too.
Interesting. Thats great it provides some relief. I just sat down to some Hekai and thought about it, and after the heat from the tea itself wore off, I did notice I was more a bit more comfortable .
