Just a quick note on this… So I got to visit my mom and siblings in San Diego, California this past week. I brought a bunch of these because they are so convenient, my Zojirushi thermos, a gaiwan, a couple of other stuff… Didn’t take notes, just counted silently, just enjoyed cups and cups of it. It’s so mellow for a beginner pu erh person (me me me lol). I also upped the rating. I still don’t know what I taste other than the cocoa and delicate sweetness but it was as delightful as spending time with my family. Mom nagged me about cutting my hair (it’s past my waist) and she says I look like cousin-it (haha) but that’s mom. Easy to stay mellow while sipping on this tea :P.

Flavors: Cocoa, Sweet

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 15 sec 7 g 4 OZ / 110 ML

I love San Diego! I’ve been on vacation there a few times. If you feel like tea-cationing, I highly recommend High Tea at Shakespeare’s Corner Shoppe. _

I bet your long hair is lovely, Kawaii433.

Don’t feel bad, Kawaii433, I have waist/hip-length hair, suffer from tonsurephobia, and have had to deal with comments like that from family before, too. I’ve just had to learn to block them out, and have learned from watching fierce Drag Queens that you do what makes you feel beautiful, not what others tell you. ;-)

Profile

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
