These of these mini tongs include 7 × 7g mini coins of Lancang raw puer. This tea is smooth, sweet and fragrant, making for an uncomplicated, but highly enjoyable brew.
As the name suggests, this tea can’t be bought, only earned.
Company description not available.
I had a late night session with this tea as I watched the French WWI film Grand Illusion. I wasn’t expecting this tea to WOW me, but it did the job to give a pleasant session during a great watch.
Notes: Soupy mouthfeel, smooth, lightly sweet, & peach skin
*Roswell Strange noted peach skin…I wasn’t sure what I was tasting. I used a Yixing pot which happened to mute the tasting notes. I assumed they’d be elevated, but alas, I was wrong. Definitely might brew this grandpa style next time (I’m not sure if there will be a next time on the account I didn’t see anymore of these in the sipdown pu pile) since it feels like a sheng that can handle near boiling water and long steeping times.
Flavors: Peach, Smooth
Grandpa style!
We had our first snowfall of the winter earlier in the week, and it was less a snowfall and more of a snowstorm. I spent most of the day just keeping warm and cozy with grandpa brewed sheng. Wasn’t sure what to expect from this one but it’s surprisingly smooth with lighter notes of fresh and floral blueberries and peach skins – way more fruity than I would have assumed!
We recently got a new seating plan for our open office at work, and I actually have a desk in the main office now in addition to the one I’ve worked at in the our tea lab for the last couple years. I’ve been trying to split my time between the two spots. One of my new deskmates in our little pod of four is the designer for our hardgoods, and I’ve been really enjoying getting to share new teas with him since he doesn’t really know a lot of tea outside what we carry. I shared one of these coins with him – it was his first ever straight sheng. He didn’t like the first steep very much (he brewed it Western, but resteeped over the day) but a few steeps in really loved it – found it very peachy!
