From O5 Tea

The colour is rich and dark (like French press coffee), but there is barely any bitterness in the brew. The tea’s energy is grounding and warming, making it ideal for afternoon drinking during the PNW’s rainy season. Having been stored in an ideal environment, the flavour has developed elegantly; the cakes are loosely pressed (by stone), also helping the tea to mature. This is a beautiful yet very affordable introduction to the world of agedRead more

Gongfu!

Enjoyed this session paired with some super juicy Quebec-grown strawberries. I had the chance to try this ripe pu’erh as part of a flight of teas at O5’s teabar just over a year ago and it was such an incredible experience so it was really nice to get to revisit it in this small way. The tea is full bodied and so, sooo smooth and clean with richly earthy notes of potting soil, petrichor, and garden beets alongside a little bit of a fruitier banana notes that I’ve experienced many times in the past with other productions of shou from Yiwu – though this time around it was a little less green and more baked tasting in a way that was almost like banana bread, just less sweet and more stripped back to its essentials. Nibbling the berries in between steeps also helped a lot with pulling forward some of those fruitier note!
