Holy shit, derk. Thank you. This is everything.
Bowled. This tea… this is where I resonate. My tea. I didn’t take a single note and just sat there transfixed (and muttering expletives).
How the hell is this a GABA? As if my mind wasn’t reeling enough. “I don’t like GABAs,” she says.
It doesn’t sound like this is going to be available any more… I don’t know what to do with that. I have enough for one more bowl. Maybe I’ll take better notes next time; maybe I’ll just be.
Flavors: Butter, Campfire, Caramel, Cedar, Dried Fruit, Floral, Leather, Peanut, Perfume, Pine, Resin, Tobacco, Vanilla

Derk is so awesome. I am really glad you had a great tea experience.
Dang those tasting notes sound epic! Too bad it isn’t available anymore :(
I can’t even. I’m probably going to message FL and see what, if anything, is adjacent. I am enjoying my puerh journey, but my heart will likely always be with these soul-shattering oolongs.
Only one Lala Shan I found is this one, but not Hong Shui: https://jingtea.com/tea-type/lala-shan
Thanks, Martin! Might be fun to explore the mountain in other ways.
I also am enjoying puerh, but agree that it hasn’t blown my socks off like some other teas. I’m sure I’m just looking for the right one :). Good luck trying to find a similar oolong!
After trying this tea once, I knew it was for you, beerandbeancurd. GABA be damned. Sad it’s sold out. This tea is phenomenal.
Color me impressed. My heart.
