Lesser Evils is a blend of our small batch shou Puer.
Densely layered with an inky depth and soothing body. The softer aromas will settle into a bouquet of sweet aroma. Complex and engaging flavor that won’t break the budget. Far and away the best quality and value combination in our 2021 shou Puer lineup.
Each cake is 200 grams of tea.
Gongfu!
I meant to have this one on the weekend but didn’t quite get around to it. Perhaps it was meant to be, because the thick brothy liquor and balance of dense sweet and more earthy elements were very comforting this afternoon. There’s a somewhat sharp element to the top notes of my first few steeps – a little fruity and a little bit like roasted chicory – but mostly elements of dark chocolate, molasses, dates and oats/granola married with decaying wood and rich rain-soaked forest floor are what the session conveys. Sweet and muddy, really. Feels like good daily drinker type shou – probably a good Grandpa Style tea candidate also. Didn’t have the greatest longevity though, as it was pretty tapped out after five steeps…
