drank Pu Erh Dante by Adagio Teas
28 tasting notes

This was my first puer…it really opened my eyes and sent me off on a wonderful journey through shou and sheng. I don’t really care for the taste, it isn’t bad but I certainly don’t crave shou like I do a young sheng with stone fruit aftertaste. On taste I’d say it’s a 65.

I feel a little ridiculous talking about qi on an Adagio tea but this tea has the best energy !!! Unlike other puers (mostly sheng) where I get different qi on different days, Dante has a repeatable and reliable amazing tea energy. It’s perfect for morning hikes; energizing, uplifting (mood), relaxing all at the same time and it makes me ridiculously chatty and outgoing. I am very sensitive to qi (2g dosage) but this one is strong. Since Dante, I’ve tried approx 20 other sheng and shou with some having interesting qi but none matching up to this one. I must just be odd since no-one else has commented on this. More for me :)

I’ve served it to a couple of other people with all but one agreeing it made them feel ways that their regular black tea habit did not. I did bump one of them up to 3.5g at which point they said that they were glad I was doing the driving :)

I just bought a pound of this little bag of happiness.

Hey man, drink what you like. You don’t have to defend yourself! I may add this one to the list, too to check out. I probably would have overlooked an Adagio Puerh had you not said anything :)

Thanks Babble :) I’d suggest you hold off on the Dante, I had a couple of sessions with the new bag and it doesn’t have the same effects unfortunately :( I’ll let you know if I come across something else with great Qi

Aww that’s a bummer. Well thanks for the heads up. Yes definitely keep me posted. I’m forever searching for that “tea high” haha..
