Different effects sheng puer can have on the body

[d.manuk]

I thought it could be fun discussing the variety of effects puer can have on the body.

For me, I've noticed a few different effects:

1) Euphoric ("tea drunk")
2) Energetic
3) Makes me sleepy
4) Makes me feel full as if I ate food
5) Warms my chest and the warmth radiates out to the rest of my body


I've found #3 to be the most surprising. It can be hard to notice if you aren't paying attention, especially if you are doing multiple sessions with multiple puers within a 2 - 3 hour time frame. The one I've felt this from is on the younger side, maybe from 2015? A different session with the same tea that makes me sleepy can have a different effect on me on a different day.

Great topic, have had similar reactions plus a few;

1a) laughing euphoria, smiling inside
2a) outwardly expanding energy, from upper body
6) rumbling stomach cramping from some young sheng

Same here, especially if it's been awhile since I've eaten.

7) Makes me alert but not excited like when I drink coffee.
