I think this came from the SF Tea Festival’s promo bag that they gave away with entry in 2018. They did not give them out to all attendees this year like they did last, which was a disappointment especially with the $25 entrance fee. Anyways… on to the tea.
I’m at work where we have an instahot faucet, making it hard to refine the temp. I think I steeped this for 2-3 minutes after a 20s rinse. It turned out alright. It’s a little wet, musty, cave like in a pleasant way. I feel like I need more/better adjectives to describe puerh because my puerh vocabulary is limited! Enjoying this cup nonetheless.

I haven’t tried mine yet. I couldn’t go this year because I’m not local and I bought a house out here in Idaho where I live so my budget was firmly in the “I can’t buy plane tickets this year” category, but I was there in 2018 (my BFF lives in the Bay Area, and we met up with derk there). I still haven’t tried most of the freebies I got in the 2018 bag. I’m bummed because someone stole my teacup during the event, though. :-(
