New to Pu'erh and Bad Experiences with Pu'erh: A Helping Hand
If anyone is new to Pu’er and wants a sample of our tea, I am happy to send some to @Liquid Proust to distribute out as well.
I have not tried Pu’er yet and would love to try a sample before buying something blindly. Thanks for the offer.

Just let me now! I had 140g of the 2015 that someone donated earlier this year but it’s all sent out.
Saw your post on reddit :) Would love to accept the challenge, have followed you (and awaiting yours) so I can pm you as you requested. That is, if you don’t mind non-us residents-
No worries. I think I’ve hit 8 countries now :)
$10usd to outside the US, not a problem. I actually have a few sets that should be good to go. I followed you so PM me whenever
Saw your post on the thread I made about the Pu erh teas! I’d love to get more diversity in my tea drinking experience so I think this would be a good option. I’ll pm you with the details
Saw the post on Reddit and inquired about it there, and forgot about it. Then I saw another post and it came back to me! :D
I may already by on your list from a month ago, but just in case, I’d like to say thank you for doing this, and that I’d be interested in participating.
MP is sending stuff my way so next week I should have 10 slots open :)
I’ve got plenty to go around still
Posted on Reddit once again and now I have over 40 new request so anyone up to selling some stash or donating let me know :)
I am now at over 70 people this year! Getting good responses and new people into the community :)
I just broke 100 people, but there is better news! I have four more donations coming my way!!!
I am going to finish out the rest of the people who requested to take part in the last Reddit post and then I will get another round of people involved. I think my goal is to finish out the year at maybe 200 because the responses that I have gotten have been great which helps me push through the hours it takes to do all of this. Really trying to jump start some new hobbies for others as pu’erh is probably one of the most intimidating things to get into due to the knowledge, variety, history, and then sadly the ‘claims’ and ‘marketing’.
Thanks a ton everyone, I am able to feel proud at what I do because of the support from the community and then the responses that I have been getting.
I posted once more on Reddit and it will be my last post for the year as I will off of that post for the next few months. If you’re interested in joining please follow and message me. If you’d like to donate samples or material for me to send out please let me know.
My goal was 52, but the tea community pushed me to 100 by providing the materials. Now I’m going to attempt 200 before 2017 : )
At 117!
I’m currently enjoying my third to last sample, thanks LP.
had an adventure for sure! some I hated (salty, insipid, dirty), some I loved (the JTea Da Du Gang was particularly delightful, when I have some extra dough I’ll probably drop some on a cake if they have any left).
I’m a lot more happy to fork out for more expensive teas now. I had a few EOT samples that arrived just before your package and it wasn’t until I tried a whole bunch of your samples that I understood why they were so expensive.
Great learning experience, Hope to be able to pay it on at some stage.
Dear Community,
With the help of many, I have sent over 250 packages for new puerh drinkers or those who did’t like it before. This has kept me insanely busy, but it has led to a new group of friends and providing the opportunity to find a new enjoyment or community interact with. The crazy adventure of mine also had multiple vendors help out which has been awesome to experience.
Tea is a hobby of mine, but the community is more than that as I find it to be something I love (as I find myself caring, missing, and wanting more of it).
I now ask for the help of those who may be able to do so. I had a pay it forward program going for those who could help others start who had no money. Starting in November I will be working on getting back to each one of them and I only have 17 taken care of. I will need to make a few orders or have a few more sponsors to get to everyone. I understand that I may not be able to, but the more the better : )
I have quite a bit of my private stash ready to donate as well!
