Pressed from 6 different ripe teas that were wet piled from 2015 to 2018! We painstakingly worked to create unique blend that would delight and fortify during long winters and tough times. A reminder that there are many delightful and lovely experiences to be had and shared if only are open and attentive to the opportunity.

Although this is a newish tea, it's incredibly textured and complex. The ripe teas used in this blend vary from gong ting (smallest leaf grade) up to grade 7 (larger), and come from three distinct regions in Yunnan (Lincang, Simao and Xishuangbanna). The result is a thick and balanced tea with notes of dried fruit, tropical wood, sugarcane, umami and much more!

Good tea, even better from a good teapot

"Very nice shou. It was already a favorite when I found a teapot which removes some sharper notes, making it even more creamy."

— Peter J. (5/5)

Creamy and flavorful

"Creamy and flavorful..... like Butter!! (NYC accent) . I prefer this to Cozy and that's a lot to say. Think hot mocha topped with marshmallows. Ten out of ten, would recomend."

— Alán (5/5)

Rich, thick, soft sweetness

"I could drink this every day for a while. It's soft, smooth, rich, dark. The forest flavor is more background and there's certainly a strong note of sweet, without being too sweet. The bitterness is so subtle it's almost not there but does add some complexity, which I like. I would say the caffeine effect is moderate and pleasant, coming from someone who can't drink regular black tea or coffee due to the too-strong caffeine effect."

— Yunus (5/5)

Calming tea

"I really enjoy this particular shou. The title "warm fuzzies" really does fit this tea perfectly. Its energy is calming and relaxing and has a pleasant warming sensation. The flavor is full, bold, and complex without being overwhelming or having unwanted notes. This will be a great tea to drink as the weather gets cooler and snow arrives again."

— Kevin L. (5/5)

My new favorite pu-erh :)

"Wow! This pu-erh is so smooth, rich, warm, fuzzy and flavorful :) It's very yin and super tastey, definitely not a sharp tea. I can drink this basically every day and not get tired of it! :) I definitely recommend it and I'll be buying more myself :)"

— Miles H. (5/5)

Fabulous!

"This tea is soft, soothing, silky, well rounded...and very feminine. I've never had a "yin" Ripe Pu-erh before but this is it. Yes, very balanced. So much so, that I can drink it all day because it's gentle on my frame. Scott's expertise lends new meaning to the term "tea blending". Truly a "unique experience" as stated by the reviewer below. Indulge away. YAY! Thank you, Scott."

— Frank M. (5/5)

Good

"Good Shou, dark but not too thick, a bit of sweetness, no wet pile"

— Pascal W. (4/5)

Powerfully Good

"Strong, thick, and dark. Typical excellent shu from Scott, with an extra dash of complexity. A keeper for sure."

— Richard D. (5/5)

Completely Unique

"This tea somehow manages to be dry in a way that is very lubricating and soft in a way that is very direct. Also manages to be sweet in a way that’s hard to describe and unique to my experience. This tea is a total trip. I agree with the description that this tea is a special experience and one that could help you through tough times. It just has some kind of special comforting quality. Real clean for such a young tea and brews pretty long too."

— Bhaktea (5/5)
