Ass kicker!

"Ass kicker! Steeps 10+ times taking you on a journey. Abundant bitterness and cha qi. I will get a tong for aging."

— Davide L. (5/5)

Potent

"A tea like no other. Dialed to 11 at every knob. Very flavourfull, very aromatic, very thick, very bitter ( but not acrid or astringent ) very pungent. So you basically turn down your dial when you brew it ( gently ) and it drinks super easily. Flavors of white chocolate, medicinal herbs, wild honey, very unique, the most unique in my entire collection. The most crazy aspect is that the cha qi is very withstandable. So it is almost considered a daily drinker in my book. I drink this potent ass tea like butter."

— Thibaud (5/5)

Bitter and sweet blend

"Nice blend! The bitterness is there for sure but isn't over the top. Later steeps are a mix of bitterness and sweetness, typical for Lao Man'e. The mouthfeel is excellent and very consistent, slightly astringent. I feel like this tea has a lot of ageing potential, it's currently still very greenish but already shows its quality. Worth a cake!"

— Maximilian V. (5/5)
