I drink different teas for different reasons.
In the morning I tend to drink bold & rich black teas.
Sometimes I want something green & fresh, sometimes I want something floral or roasty.
Sometimes I want something sweet & flavored like a dessert.
Other times I want an experience, not a flavor. A feeling of introspection, a feeling of ‘this moment’. The feeling of qi flowing through me…
That’s when I turn to this Shu. I love this tea! It is like a revelation every time I drink it. The leaves just keep giving, & I’m certain I’ll continue steeping them tomorrow. It’s not a dessert tea, it is a tea for the moment. It is a tea for all eternity.

This sounds amazing! I love that experience (teadrunk?), and aged shou is what provides it for me, too.
I tend to get it more from shengs than shu’s, but the chaqi in this tea is amazing! Every time I drink it, it blows my mind! :D
I know it’s probably not possible, but I sincerely hope David encounters more of this, because I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I think its one of those puers that people would invest fortunes in!
Not really. You were able to buy smaller quantities which is how I began. Verdant had this puer for a long time.

Definitely adding this to my shopping list. Thanks for the recommendation!
Amen sistah! I still have a stash left myself. Need to drink some!

A fourteen year is a tremendous find. Was it pricey, when it was available?
