Reviews

A very thick and energising tea

"The first infusions have a fruity, sweet, and slightly bitter flavor, with a very oily taste. With subsequent infusions, the liquor thickens considerably, creating a pleasant sensation of the tongue becoming numb. Then come more citrusy notes coupled with more astringency. So iam carefull to not pudh it too much. A tea that truly brings a lot of energy and warmth. A tea I really like; I'll try the other vintages."

nice sheng🍃

"very beautiful leaves, the taste of this sheng puer is young and wild, the cha qi is excellent🍃 the taste also has a pleasant tartness, for the tartness to be pleasant the main thing is not to overbrew!"

Great intro to young raw puer

"Got a free sample with another order. Ordered 50g. It was my first intro to young raw puer. I liked it so much that I bought a cake. One of only a couple cakes I own."

Crunchy

"Delicious taste Delicious flavor Delicious texture Nice qi. Not as a super devastating qi. As a very enjoyable qi. It is a superb blend. Amazing price. It has that peach, raw apple flavor, that you can feel in the older version. Crunchy."

"veryenjoyable"

Sometimes, waiting is the hardest part - and, perhaps, unnecessary ...

"Friday, I received my latest order of potent raw Pu-erh cakes, alongside of which came this free sample. Having had this on my short list - alas, unordered - yesterday I decided to brew this 10g in my 170ml old BenShan LvNi (Qing) teapot. WOW! Suffice it to say, I've never felt such immediate and potent cha qi. This morning, I ordered a cake of this, and one of the 2011 ..."

Wow!

"After a good session of this sheng, I spent over an hour on the phone with my friend discussing moral relativism while pacing in circles around my living couch while in my underwear. Yeah, the cha qi is strong. The tea also tastes wonderful!"
