95

I was worried that this was getting a little dried out because I don’t have a proper pumidor—just a cardboard box in the cupboard! No reason to worry! This has developed nicely, even though it is exposed to humidity only about 5 months a year. The sweetness has come to dominate the bitterness, which was more prevalent a few years ago. It features spearmint and a little smoke and one of the most amazing examples of huigan I’ve experienced in a pu-erh. I have a high tolerance for the narcotic effects of sheng but I’m finding it hard to type at the moment!

Bio

I love tea and living in a place that is cold or cool nine months of the year, tea is a constant source of warmth and education. I always drink tea straight and rarely drink flavored teas or Tisanes, except for the occasional Rooibos. I’m a proud father of two young boys, an avid skier, motorcyclist, reader, and runner. I have a doctorate in English (dissertation on Emily Dickinson.)
