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
Gongfu!
Enjoyed this early morning session before heading in to work!! It took a while to get the coin to open up, but it was worth the extra bit of effort prying it apart into “layers” after the rinse and first steep or so. The liquor of this sheng is just so soft and smooth, and also quite bright and fruity tasting with subtle, delicate notes of sweet red berries and nectarines. It’s very approachable, and honestly, it’s just a very gentle way to ease not just into today but the week overall.
