Mini Tea Brick (Long Run 2009 Pu'erh) Cooked

This is a wonderfully sweet fang cha pu’er brick, tightly packed and dense. Produced in 2009 this shou (cooked) cake looks as nice as it tastes.

I never thought I’d rate a shu pu’erh so high, but this is unbelievable. One of the most sip-able, addictive teas I’ve had in a long time. Dark as coffee, tastes like milk chocolate, smooth as silk. Amazing, simply amazing. (Disclosure: I have a business relationship with Phoenix Tea Shop…this tea is still amazing, though.)

Yum yum yum yum yum. Super dark and thick cooked pu-erh. It comes out sweet and earthy and cocoa-y. Wonderful for first time drinkers if they’re switching from coffee or like the thicker red wines.
