95

This is the pu’er for peeps who like it sweet, mouthfeel crazy and lots of crazy feels. I got notes of peach, cream, metallic, savory, butter, herb, spearmint, and floral. The texture is mouth fluff oily and heavy making for a great addictive sip.

I quite enjoyed 2 Late. I like it a touch more than Poundcake, but that’s more of a personal preference thing – both are fantastic teas of the same price.

I need to taste both this and poundcake against each other again, but I think I like this one more. Of the two, it’s the one I have a cake of :)

I think OolongOwl’s parameters here are good advice for both teas, to go lighter on the temps. My obs is that the teas pressed after the unusual rains are wetter, the leaf doesn’t hold up as well to high temps. But that is likely to change after a few months or a year when th cakes are drier.

Bio

I’m a tea blogger – The Oolong Owl
www.OolongOwl.com – I do tea reviews, obsessively photograph teas with mischievous crocheted Owls and get tea drunk. I am also a crochet and knitting designer at Awkward Soul Designs.

To contact me for reviews, check out details at OolongOwl.com/about or email me at char@oolongowl.com

I was raised on floral oolongs and green teas, mostly “beauty” teas. Early on as a kid, I can guzzle an entire pot of tea (or two) at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.
These days I like adventurous and interesting tea blends. I’m fearless in trying new teas! I’m into oolong, pu’erh, white, green, black, guayusa, mate and herbals. I’m not into red rooibos but I keep buying it anyway.

The tea brand that got me started into loose leaf teas was DAVIDsTea. I used to live in Vancouver Canada and had access to their shop, however that is now limited since I moved to southern California.

However, the perks of living in the US is ultra cheap, fast shipping! Since then, my tea stash insanely expanded.

Other stuff I’m into that sneaks into my tea notes: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, metal music, drawing, painting, cooking, photography and nail polish.

BTW, my Steepster cupboard is not even close to accurate and I track my teas on a spreadsheet. Last update 573 Teas – August 2015.
