This lovely tea continues to make friends and influence people. Today Lisa said, “this is the first time I haven’t added anything—no honey or lemon or sugar—to my tea!”
And this was a cup from an admittedly inferior brewing—fit in around some crazy fast-paced work that went right through lunch—a 30 minute first infusion (not a typo, yes, 30 MINUTES!), several more almost as insane infusions, mixed in the thermos, and the end result was not only drinkable, but charmed someone new to my teas. Good job, dear puerh!

I love pu-erhs for their indefinite brew-ability!
This one is particularly graceful in tolerating even rather extreme brewing parameters. Now enjoying some delightful loose young shengs (reviews to come) that would bite back if so abused.
