Don’t often drink shu, added to basket during last sale. Glad I did.

6g chunk in 100mL teapot, gongfu, boiling water, 3x rinse.

Not much I can add others haven’t said, thumbs up for this tea. Its good, inexpensive, flavorful, aromatic, lots of longevity. I think grandpa brewing this will last you all day.

Not much in the way of chi, but my feet/legs got cold after drinking this. Will need to see if this is recurring in future sessions. This may have just replaced my previous favorite shu…which was Hojo’s 2012 Gong Ting shu.

Not sedating, road-safe for driving. A very good daily drinker shu, did I mention inexpensive?

Flavors: Bark, Caramel, Cherry Wood, Chocolate, Coffee, Cream, Dark Chocolate, Earth, Mineral, Oats, Petrichor, Spices, Sweet, Wet Wood

This is nice for the price on it for sure.

Wow it’s going for $46/cake? I got mine for $26/cake less than a year ago. I compare this situation to W2T’s Repave. The attractive thing about these teas was the quality /price ratio. Both are now too expensive for what they are, IMO. I’ll enjoy my cake but wouldn’t buy anymore at $46.

I like all teas but mostly drink sheng and Taiwan oolong.

My tea notes are just thoughts that come to mind as I drink, so I jot them down. There’s no format to them, just what I want to remember from the experience.

Oh, and why isn’t there a “bacon” flavor option on steepster?
