ashmanra drank 2009 Menghai "Zi Yun" Ripe Pu-erh tea mini cake * 100 grams by Menghai Tea Factory(obtained from mandala tea)

I drank one steep of my Southern Season puerh and then put the leaves in the fridge to cold brew a pitcher of iced tea. I was feeling unsatisfied, puerh-wise, so I decided to treat myself to several steeps of Purple Rhyme.

I love the box it came in, the careful wrapping of the paper with such beautiful, uniform folds, the stamp that holds the paper tight. I love the care used to present this product to me.

The tea is really dark, because I love strong, smooth puerh and I let it steep longer than most people do. The taste is fresh and so clean.

Come on over! Do you like to make cards and dance with the dog?

K S 2013-02-06 19:31:21 -0500

Are you setting her up for a bad date?

ashmanra 2013-02-06 19:36:25 -0500

Nope, for a good time! :D

Bonnie 2013-02-06 20:05:30 -0500

I can think of a better time than dancing with the dog! I’ll take the tea and dance with K S! (Any other offers?!)

K S 2013-02-06 20:31:05 -0500

Bonnie, if I could dance it would be my honor. Can we still have puerh?

gmathis 2013-02-06 21:10:47 -0500

Bio

I am a music teacher and homeschooling mom who started drinking loose leaf tea about four years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
