THIS TEA. It’s so good!!! Ahhh I hardly know how to describe it…creamy, soft, a bit of citrus, some wood, a slight almost scotch aftertaste….this is pretty tasty indeed. Getting caramel notes in a pu’erh too, that hasn’t happened much for me yet! I even brewed this up Western style and it’s amazing. The ounce of tea is in a huge chunk too, so I’ll have to figure out a better method of breaking off a piece for the next steepings than just breaking it with my hands lol. But it’s so tasty! A different shu than anything I have had before.
Sorry for the short note, without much form or my usual style, this is just very delicious and I want to just drink it and enjoy it. I’ll try to elaborate more on flavors later :)

I prefer to steep shus western style for at least five minutes to get that really deep sludgy flavor.
That sounds really yummy! The only shu I had where I could taste caramel notes was Mandala’s Temple Stairs. :)
Mmm, that’s a really nice one
5 minutes hmm i should try that sometime, if I can handle the caffeine! This is by far one of my favorite shu’s to date now, I want to have more tonight but feel like I should hoard it lol, so delicious!
I’m sensitive to caffeine too, but I find that pu-erhs have lower levels than other teas.
Yeah I have noticed that as well :) some pu’erh’s actually make me more relaxed even than herbal teas! But on the other hand, I have found some that give me so much energy I hardly know what to do..those I must drink sparingly. Luckily this one was a relaxing one, so a 5 min steep would probably just enhance the flavor, not my heart rate and energy level :)
