This tea is absolutely incredible. I had drank it before and liked it western style. I needed to gonfu this to get the full effect. This tea had strong notes of honey and fruit notes as well, perhaps apricots etc. This tea was naturally sweet. This was amongst the very best tea I have ever had. At one point I added fresh raspberries to it, but it was so good without them I stopped adding them, wanting to get the full flavor of the tea. I normally only rate ripe puerh to be this good.
I steeped this five times. I wanted to steep it some more, but I need to sleep tonight. I steeped it in a 150ml gaiwan with 190 degree water and 6g leaf. I steeped it for 15 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. The spent leaves had an honey like aroma to them, not the usual vegetal aroma you often get from oolong. This was as good as any tea I ever drank.
In fact, this is the last tea that Cha He will ever hold. I managed to break it tonight. It was as if the Cha He had tasted perfection and couldn’t bear to have another tea so gave its life. Does anyone know a US seller for tea presentation vessels, or Cha He.
Flavors: Apricot, Honey
Does anyone know a US seller for Cha He/ Tea Presentation Vessels?
Not really. I got a nice one from Dragon Tea House. There have to be some US vendors, though.
haha, broke a cup today as well. bad day for porcelain
I finally found one. Missed it on purepuer.com initially. May order it tonight, unless I find something nicer. I found a teapot on their site to die for but its $178.
I had an episode of teaware mania and bought that incredible teapot. Here it is.

Wow, A. That’s impressive.
With any luck I will have that on Monday. Spoke to Larry on the phone and he said they could ship out tomorrow. Purepuer sells some excellent teas although many are beyond my price range. He’s got one cake for $1300.
I think I might need this tea…
Tea Fairy, I will save you a sample for our swap. Mine was the 2013/2014 Winter Pluck. I think the one they are selling now is the 2014 Spring Pluck.
