Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking

2007 Qi Sheng Gu from Essence of Tea. This has aged into a really nice tea. Softer with plum and fruit undertones. I like it a lot.

Re: Storage Failure

Don't recharge your Bovedas. The salts seem to get out of the package and into your tea. I recharged them many times. Never happend with me. Could have been a bad batch or how I=recharged them.

Re: Sheng puerh taste slightly sour-sweet ok to drink?

Normal progression of the tea I would think. If you are enjoying it that is the main thing. Drink away.

Re: Tea sale

Looks like some good stuff. The 2003 Changtai is the Qianjiafeng "Jinzhushan"? I like that one (same storage on mine, heavy HK followed by TW) It is the same one. I really like it as well.

You can check Discord and search Bamboo Spring and 8653.
As a newcomer, what Discord server is this referencing? Is it public?
Should be, puerh channel. Thanks Youzi for linking .
