Pu-erh Tea Xiaguan Tuocha 2008 from Xiaguan Tuocha Co. Ltd.

Charles Thomas Draper drank Pu-erh Tea Xiaguan Tuocha 2008 by Xiaguan Tuocha Co. Ltd.

I gave this one a bit more time in the Yixing with extra leaf today. The result is a more flavorful cup. It is also going to my head quickly. That floaty feeling is for real. These Tuocha are relatively inexpensive. I think this one is a great bargain. My liquor is a burnt orange-red with a slight numbing. I will admit I am getting quite warm from this one as opposed to the chills I got from last nights tasting. I recommend this young Sheng for now and for further aging….

I just installed a Pur Water filter on my faucet. A definite improvement to the taste of my water. My tea will thank me….

I use tap water but our water in san francisco is already pretty good.
