Magic Teapot. Ahh yes, magic. Teapots. Tea. I enjoy all of them, although not necessarily in that order, unless you like that order. If that's the case, fantastic! If you don't like that order, please feel free to rearrange them in any order you'd like. I'm too busy guzzling down this tea to care about much else, much to the chagrin of my housepla

Even if you didn't ask, I'm going to tell you: it's a complete and utter lack of any semblance of wet pile taste or smell. Neither are present, and I'm almost struck dumb because, according to the description, the wet piling occured at the end of 2023. It's the middle of October as I'm drinking this tea and writing this review, so not even a year removed from wet piling (the tea, not me). I've had aged raw pu-erh that tasted funkier, so there is some serious magic at play here. Funny, I thought Magic retired from the NBA decades ago.
Whatever the magic is, I needed more of it in my life, so after getting a sample with another order, I ordered two cakes. It took me all of two sessions with one of the cakes to decide that this is a ripe pu-erh I will very likely plow through with aplomb and gusto, so I ordered a tong. I don't use the words "aplomb" or "gusto" lightly, and it's rare when I use them in the same sentence. Draw from that what you may, but don't take my word for it. Acquire one of these magical cakes and taste the magic for yourself. You'll be rewarded with a super clean, smooth, slightly sweet tea that will have you questioning everything you know about ripe pu-erh. Get some! Read LessRead less about Magic Teapot.
