klepto My go-to when I want a casual taste of Yiwu without splurging is Yiwu Mountain Tea's gushu huangpian. Flavor-wise, it could be just as powerful when brewing it right :mrgreen: That's my next stop, I've had that on my list for a while. I've been visiting their site ever since you mentioned it...

My tea routines these days are too rigid and scientific :mrgreen: I should be wearing a lab coat and using more precise utensils. My raw puerh sessions are either early morning or late at night. I'm trying to pay attention to all the subtle nuances in the tea as well as affects on mind/body. I hand ...

I visit some European tea houses in America from time to time and grumble about just bad European teapot designs :D. They take a thimble worth of tea and throw it in a gigantic leaky teapot, even if I am drinking an oolong it tastes like !@#$. The cakes, cookies and tarts are the real attraction for...

EoT's 2020 Secret Forest Wild Raw Puerh, a creamy explosion of florals with really good texture. Smelling the dry leaves was enough to know this one would be good. I want a cake of this. EoT sells a green tea version of this. I bet its great too. How much raw puerh should I put in a 80 ml gaiwan? Ed...

I've been trying EoT puerh samples early in the morning and late at night. I just had some then gave my porcelain teaware a bath of citric acid and baking soda. The gaiwan bowl slipped out of my towel and wet hands. I could feel myself saying Noooo, but luckily it was still balanced on the tea towel...

EoT's 2019 Spring "Singularity" Gushu Puerh Tea, I left the gaiwan lid on between steepings and it went bitter on me so I can tell you what it really tastes like. :oops: It happened! In fact, I can totally imagine how it tasted like when brewing young sheng with lid on :mrgreen: pantry 😂. I don't m...

pantry Hoot my EoT haul came in and I thought I'd have to wait a couple more months to see it. Btw that mushroom looking thing looks intimidating :D Great! Please share here how you like the tea! I still haven't ordered any of their new tea from this year, as the long shipping time is wearing me ou...

Although putting the wrapper back on ...

Finally got my June tea mail from EoT! Didn't realize I miss the flavor of fresh sheng pu until I had my first sip I like this tea!

I'll have to give it another shot, it reminded me of a really green oolong. I'm waiting on my Jun 5th EoT order myself

Tea Urchin is one of my favorite vendors but all I've had from them is yanchas and I got a hefty sample of that Snake Blend due to curiosity. I just had some of it since you mentioned it ;D Yeah, i heard of them sporting fine oolongs. Guess i'd do some more sampling while replenishing the snake ble...

I have the 2013 spring version, its very good. It is what started me drinking sheng puerh. Hehe, i think that was the very first sheng for me as well! Admittedly, that's the only cake i have tried from them. What about you, did you find any other interesting sheng pressed by urchins? Tea Urchin is ...
