Red Loon is a blend of small batch shou Puer that we tested for over 800 agrochemicals using the EU MRL standard and it passed. We made this blend to offer a clean, thoughtful, well-made shou Puer that is affordable for any tea drinker.
Rich and intriguing in spite of its price tag, Red Loon has a classic jujube sweetness and tang alongside elements of minerality and forest floor. Still a bit fresh in 2023, but for lovers of shou it’s an immediate candidate for an easy daily drinker.
Each mini is ~7 grams of tea.
Grandpa Style!
Slurped this back of the course of yesterday afternoon. It’s slick and oily with a liquor that’s practically jet black save for a hint of red-ish brown cresting at the water line. Though there’s an expected smooth, grounding earthiness and minerality I find myself more entranced with the gentle sweetness of fruitier notes of figs and red dates – almost like drinking a Fig Newton in tea form, which I feel I should is a positive. It’s very clean and easygoing, which makes me feel like it falls very comfortably into the “daily drinker” sorta zone for the more well versed pu’erh drinker while also likely making for a more accesible option for anyone who’s been turned off pu’erh because of some of the funkier flavours sometimes present!

I think this is one of the nicest photos I’ve taken in months, though I guess the IG algorithm disagrees. Kind of a bummer when a photo you’re REALLY proud of tanks. Womp womp.
