Description
Slightly fermented ripe cake.
I’m sick. Stayed home Monday, WFH yesterday, went in today, and left at noon. I feel exhausted and congested and blah.
This arrived today as a sample from a friend of mine. I decided to drink some and try to take a little nap. I’m really liking this tea, so I wanted to get a quick note down. Now admittedly I did take some meds earlier, but I didn’t start feeling woozy til I drank this tea!
I’m getting a very pleasant body-feel, which is quite nice. I have enough left to do another session when I am not sick, but this is definitely making me feel better, even if it’s in a small way. It’s yummy and I like it!
Brew of the mid day here.
Broke this one out an in between on fermentation. It is said to be an only slightly ripened/cooked/shou that doesn’t have as much shou kick to it.
Got 12 grams off the cake , it is pretty tightly compressed cake and it took a bit to pry off a chunk. Brewed up it has the “metallic” aroma of some shou. Taste of the brew gives a bit of stone fruit ansd plum notes with enough of the raw material blended in to give a hint of sheng to it. A deep and full textured tea that sits and drinks nice in the cup.Some hints of molasses and sweet chocolate mixed in.
Get some rest. Feel better soon ;-)
go take a nap :)
Feel better soon!
Thanks, all! I know I’ll be fine, but the congestion and head pressure really sucks. I’m shenging right now. Maybe that will help!
