Raw Pu-erh Tea

I bought this 4 years ago for much cheaper than it sells for now. Still probably worth the value it's the type of ripe I could drink everyday and much prefer it to most other DaYi ripes including the v93. Scott or Xiao Yao if you're reading this list a newer pressing and I'll buy a tin or two for ageing.

A nice cake not to over pressed. It comes apart easily with nice large leaves. It has a nice sweet flavor that’s not too overpowering.

a great daily drinker

I like this so much I hesitate to tell you about it. Good balance of flavor. Subtle flower notes with a certain richness that has wanting to order more right now. It steeps a solid 4 or 5 times.

This is not a complicated tea but that doesn't mean it isn't elegant! I find it gently savory, slightly malted, copacetically creamy and correctly minerally like a light roast coffee without a trace of bitterness or astringency. The cha qi here is very light and subtle but it is present. Just don't expect to run hurdles but it will aid concentration. I find 6 grams per 100 ml at 205 F is just right for me with my hard alkaline water. For the life of me, i can't oversteep this tea and I've been trying. 10 seconds or 10 minutes, it comes out consistently good every time. So far it seems to infuse forever so I bet grandpa style is perfect for this pu-erh.
