I wanted Shu this evening, & I was gonna head back to Tony’s, so I brought one of these tuochas along. They are handy to have, easy to deal with. I steeped it in a cup for 3 minutes. I re-steeped it for 4, & then 5. Sure, I have way better Shu’s in my collection, but this one will do for today. Smooth, rich, earthy, grounding.

Your recent pu’erh tea notes are somewhat intriguing me to just maybe branch out again into pu’erh. Hmm.
I really enjoy puerh. Shengs give me a sense of clarity, Shu’s feel very grounding. :)
I made the mistake of trying Aloha Pu’erh as my first ever. I’ve steered clear ever since but perhaps my wariness is fading. I’ll have to check into them more :)
courtney doooo eeeeet!
What do you recommend for starting off Sil?
i really like manadala’s puerh to be honest. So far they are my favourite, though verdant has had some enjoyable ones too. Special Dark, Noble Mark…phatty cake…uh… man there are a bunch. Garrett will also help you figure out what might be appealing to you if he gets a sense of what types of teas you like – he helped me out! I am totally disorganised these days but i can send you a couple samples in the near-ish future if you bug me in a week or so
Haha okay. I will screen shot to even remember myself! Thanks :)
I second everything Sil just said! :)
Third….
I’m no expert on pu-erh, currently sampling stuff from advice from a vendor to get my head around it, but from my knowledge of Verdant and puerh, I’d try somewhere else! Not that their tea is bad, but they are terribly misleading and overpriced because of it at times (I have experience with their oolongs, and word has it they are worse with puerh)!
