Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

2007 8582 from XiZiHao.
Interesting tea. Nice fragrance, slight floral with a bit of raw mushroom.
Taste is clean, with a bit of astringency. Light on the palette.
Good if not a bit boring or lacking complexity.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

2017 Chen Yuan Hao ripe (via Liquid Proust)
You can tell this expertly done.
The fermentation is done with a deft touch.
It’s clean and light even on the first couple steeps.
Rounded soft earthy flavors with a touch of coffee.
Very nice.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

2003 Menghai 7542.
So good. Like if a high quality shou and sheng had a baby and you added a touch of campfire. A little menthol on the finish and just a whisper of astringency.
Got to get more!

Re: Science behind letting puerh "rest" after shipment?

Question.... I just got a my first large order of Puer. I have Rubbermaid boxes that are humidified. Should I let the tea sit for a while at room temp/humidity before putting them in the humid Rubbermaid environment (67%) or can I just put them in now. Not planning to crack into them for at least a...

Wonder what a little rest would do?

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

Superior Keemun by Mei Leaf.
Easy drinking, well rounded black tea.
Maybe a little boring after a few steeps but nice when you don’t feel like being challenged.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

Finishing up a sample of If You’re Reading This It’s 2 Late from 2015. Raw. I would say this is a really good quality raw. Still very young. Lots of straw and grass notes with a lingering peachy sweetness. A bit drying in the mouth but very little astringency or bitterness. My sample was a little br...

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

White2Tea Milk, Cream and Alcohol.
Interesting.
Smokey, peaty, creamy, tabacco...back end astringency.
Sensitive to temp and steep time.
I like it for the price but wouldn’t grab it everyday.
Curious what some age would do to this and will let my 2 bings sit for a while.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

Just received an order from white2tea a few hours ago so I decided to break into my sample of Sunday Special. Incredibly smooth. Some pile taste but I don't usually mind that at all and this is no exception. This is what I expected my sample of Menghai Golden Needle White Lotus to taste like which ...

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

Mei Leaf After Party Enchanter.
Complex, dark, earthy, sweet, long finish.
Great mouth feel.
Pretty expensive but still a good tea.
