I brewed this in my Yixing with boiling water for between 30 seconds and a minute. It is a rich, smooth and very robust young Shu. Hints of Mother Earth that will undoubtably improve with age. This tea is great on a rainy night. I would assume this would be a decent investment. The liquor is a dark red with a strong flavor. It satisfied this Shu drinker. The 3rd steep is more alive. It has a slight effervescence while numbing the mouth oh so lightly. It is getting cleaner and crisper.
wow – their website has a lot pf pu-erhs, how did you pick this one?
I bought several. I look at the pics and read the reviews and hope for the best….
that is usually my strategy as well… :)
I got a Sheng that promises a floaty feeling.
I’m a little scared for you. ;-)
Why? The floaty feeling. Lol
