Description

This tea is a monster. It is hiding in the deep waiting to be called forth. It rises in your cup and provides steep after steep of thick, dark, motor oily goodness.

As good as the loose leaf blend was it turned out 10x better after pressing. This tea is aromatic like the Nannuo Mini Mushrooms and just keeps on going. It is rich and thick and luscious and sweet. It’s so much more than most shou puerh. It’s herbal and earthy and as deep as the Marianas.
