I was lazy and didn’t have a lot of time this morning so I brewed this up western style. This tea has a fair amount of fermentation flavor left. It has a nice sweet flavor. Not really getting the specifics on this tea but it is pretty good. Puerhshop doesn’t get a lot of press on Steepster but they have sold me some good tea over the last few years. Not all their teas are great but this one is pretty good.

I brewed this one time in a 160z Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and boiling water for 15 seconds.

I’m interested to know, which do you prefer: this or 2007 Lincang “Grade 1” Loose Ripe Puerh Tea by Yunnan Sourcing? I noticed you gave them both 80/100.

The rating is simply a matter of how much I enjoyed the tea, it is not an any way scientific. I liked this tea but didn’t think it deserved better than a 80/100.

AllanK

I think this tea was a sweeter tea in general. Cheaper too as I recall. It’s hard for me to gauge the exact sweetness because I added sugar but it was not bitter at all.

Ok. That makes it easier to gage!

I agree with your assessment of PuerhShop. I’ve found some gems by reading the reviews here on Steepster, buying samples and occasionally just taking a chance if it appears to be something I’d like.
