Our 2020 The Stranger blend is a small batch shu Puer blend that is built to age. A blend of several high end small batch materials which lean towards lighter fermentation and will perform similarly to aged raw Puer tea when these teas age and settle. The returning sweetness lingers in the mouth while this full bodied tea evolves from steep to steep.
While many will enjoy this tea right away, it will really begin to shine in 2022 and beyond.
Each cake is 200 grams of tea.

I broke off a little chunk of this from my sample and over the course of about three or so days I just topped off a little cup of this to sip on in the mornings while I got ready for work and then again in the evenings when I was putting away all my shit after coming home from work – it was really nice and approachable with this smooth sweetness to it! The best I can describe it is that it was a mix of dark, wet earth and brown sugar/molasses soaked raisins, dates, and figs. That kind of weighty “brown fruit” sweetness. But like, not browned fruit as in spoiled/rotten. Does that make sense!? Hopefully!
I’d be curious to see what this would be like gongfu because it was so thick and full bodied and rich drank this way – I wonder if you’d get as much of those darker fruit notes and molasses qualities packed into each steep!?
