Anyone drinking the latest Liquid Proust Group Buy?

I was happy to find the large assortment a few weeks ago, I'm sorry to see nothing on it online. After letting it acclimatize (or whatever) while I drink my stash down I am now slowly experimenting and enjoying several of them. I appreciate being introduced teas and new vendors. Currently I'm not quarantining at my apartment and I only brought one oolong with me, so no notes. Maybe later.

I've done a nice Taiwan testing through TIllerman and this. I've done tea clubs, and they are great and fun, but I'd rather do these types of buys. I like the idea of a curated approach, vertical like Tillerma's samples, or exploring the market as Liquid Proust seems to be doing.

I would recommend looking out for future ones.

What buy are you referring to? I got the YQH sampler. And you're quite right, LP samplers are great!

I am! My favorites so far are the sample from Nanxu factory and the 2003 bingdao

LiquidProust releases samplers throughout the year and they are all fantastic buys in my opinion. They tend to be high-end boutique teas and hard to find teas. I try to buy every one he releases, because I always learn something new from the teas. #8 was really good and I'm still working through it. Excited for the Sheng Olympiad as well.

I just started dipping my toes into this group buy too. I'm glad to see the prompt here. I started with the J Tea International Phoenix Puer from 2012. It was a real treat.

The flavor reminded me a bit of a factory tea or maybe menghai? It was thoroughly durable with a pleasant feeling. Looking forward to the rest!
