Fabulous Chi!

"If you've never experienced a tea with very potent chi before this is the one to try. Scott mentioned it's "chi capacity" twice. I'm partial to ripe Pu-erhs anyway but it doesn't seem to matter how you brew this tea, the chi is there. I was so impressed with it that I bought two cakes! I give myself about 1-2 hours to have this tea because I just sit quietly and luxuriate in the full body experience of peace and deep body calm the chi imparts. Thank you, Scott!"

Get This Tea!

"Ordered this tea based on the description and wanted to have a ripe Pu-erh from Ban Pen to add to my collection. Trying to get a better sense of the terroir of each area. Lovely tea! Very warming feeling - good cha qi, smooth, chocolate, and sweet finish. Highly recommended!"

"Grampa Style"

"Yes, I learned how to make my Pu-erhs "Grampa Style", as Scott calls it, from both the Pu-erh tea farmers in Yunnan, and at the Menghai Tea Factory back in 2000. Frank Hadley Murphy"

EXCEPTIONAL RIPE PU-ERH

"I BREWED THIS TEA FOR 4 FULL MINUTES TO ACCENTUATE THE CHA CHI. OR QI. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. THE ENERGY OF THE TEA AFFECTED ME ON THE FIRST SIP, RISING IN MY BODY UP INTO MY MIND WHERE IT BRIGHTENED MY MIND. THIS TEA IS SMOOTH FOR A RELATIVELY NEW PUERH. IT TASTES VERY LIVELY AND OLD FOR A NEW TEA. IF THERE WAS ANY WET PILE TASTE I DID NOT NOTICE IT. IF ANYTHING, IT ADDED TO THE TASTE AND THE EXPERIENCE. LOVELY SOFT AND SOOTHING AND COMPLEX TASTE AS THE TASTING EXPERIENCES CHANGES IN THE MOUTH. IT REMINDED ME OF A HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY WHERE YOU FEEL "THE ENERGY OF THE MEDICINE" AFFECT YOU THE MOMENT IT TOUCHES YOUR LIPS. I'LL BE BUYING MORE OF THIS! YUMBO! A MUCH LONGER SECOND INFUSION WAS STILL QUITE POTENT."

Haven't tried it yet!

"I ordered a whole cake of this tea after it was described twice above as having a potent, AND a strong, cha qi (chi). I love Ripe Pu-erhs that have this "instantaneous chi bloom" on the first couple of sips. This is the vital life force of the tea itself and not the caffeine, at least in my experience of past Pu-erhs with such "blooms". Can't wait to get it. Just beam it over to me, Scotty!"
