I am finally finishing off this sample today. This is a fairly nice cuppa in my opinion, especially for the price. It is still $14.90 for the entire cake on Puerhshop.com. Why does that make me suspicious?? I want to believe that a really expensive tea is better somehow. :-P

This has a nice woodsy flavor and seems citrusy/orange to me with some effervescent quality. The finish is definitely on the bitter side but not overwhelmingly so. This is quite a good bargain, I can’t find anything really bad to say about it, only it seems a bit stale which is probably my fault as I’ve stored it improperly in an old ziploc bag. I would like to try some more puerhs from Jingmai mountain. Anyone else have a favorite?

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
