This Year of the Dog "Blue Label" ripe tea is a blend of ripe pu-erh teas from 2013 and 2015.  Being a blend of semi-aged teas, it's almost completely lacking any wet pile taste and is very much ready to drink!  

Smooth, sweet, woody, with some dried plum or cherry character!  There is also a spearmint-like cooling quality in the early steeps!  The tea soup is clear and burgundy, with a viscous lubricating quality.

357 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)

Must try

"Got as Bogo offer, I'm planning to get it again with BOGO if I can. I brew it gong fu and get some spicy notes on the taste, but to me the taste is so soft. Now I'm brewing 5g chunk in a 500ml flask for 1h, shake it and open for 15m. After that the result is a dark tea with some cherry and spices flavor, it reminds me of some aged "spiritual beverages". It's a very god tea and I recommend to taste it."

— David G. (4/5)

Nice taste as is without

"Nice taste as is without adding anything. Gives a good energy also."

— Robert B. (5/5)

Of all the pu when

"Of all the pu when tea I recently ordered this one does not jump out at me. It would not be fair to give it a critical review. If I can suggest my favorite of about 6 types of pu her I ordered from Yunnan sourcing, my favorite is the sticky rice flavor."

— Xavier L. (3/5)

Fantastic shou pu er

"now smooth, with a bit of age, just a slight cocoa smokiness, refined - can see why the price keeps going up"

— Cary K. (5/5)
