Drank a puerh I got from Liquid Proust tonight – not from one of the group buys. It was labeled “2011 Cha QZ – YS” (Also could’ve said 45 instead of YS lol). Neither he nor I could figure out what it actually was. Oh well. Used 4.8g in a 60mL gaiwan, so I was worried about bitterness, but it wasn’t bad. Seemed like a pretty gentle tea, possibly Yiwu. I got lighter floral sweetness with some soft fruity notes mixed in as well. It was pretty good tea, but I have no idea what tea it actually was lol.
Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Hay, Sweet

Sounds like an oolong or a white tea. More so white tea.
Well I know it was puerh actually, because it came in one of LP’s little sheng starter packs he’s been sending out. Unless he threw me a curve ball ;) But I talked to him online about it, and while did know it’s a sheng, anything more specific eluded us haha.
2011 Cha Qi by them maybe?
I know the feeling. I’ve been waiting for him to get back before I post my reviews because I’m not 100% sure which tea to link to!
It’s fun reading these puerh reviews; it’s like having a tea party online with Liquid Proust as the Mad Hatter.
@MrMopar – thats what I thought it might be
