Raw Pu-erh Tea

A classic tool for tea rituals. I love presenting my tea leaves in this vessel… Simple yet invaluable.

Under 10$, simple, easy, sturdy, convenient, what more can be said?

All very tasty teas, king of duck shit is the clear winner in this pack, but the green and the hairy crab are also excellent. The Puer cake is a little fishy but it’s not overwhelming and still has a good sweet flavor.

This definitely goes the rounds.

Flavor onset is mushroom with wet wood. Somewhere around the 3rd or 4th infusion with 15-30 second intervals is where a slight sweetness comes in followed by dark chocolate bitterness and that remains till you give up or run out of time. Slight fruit, reminiscent of red cherries is present in later infusions.
Choosing a 30-45 second or longer interval will reward you with what I really enjoy of bulang material: the numbness.

Qi on this one is very uplifting and positive. Very much a huge fan of this “zombie” tea.

This is my first gaiwan, and I love it. Makes great tea.
