Pu-erh - Lapsang Custom Blend from Seven Cups

Pu-erh - Lapsang Custom Blend

Black Pu-erh Blend by Seven Cups

This is a custom blend of my own invention: 60% Home Store Pu-erh and 40% Lapsang Strong Smoke, both from Seven Cups.

This blend will stand — as one might expect from the combination — very long steepings: 3 minutes for the first 2-3 and 4-6 minutes for the second 2-3.

I find it’s the perfect tea for cold weather, damp weather, and cold and damp weather.

This isn’t usually a tea I drink in the morning, but it seemed just the right thing today. Excellent as always.

Tea and working in the garden, transplanting this and that, digging here and there. Then more tea.

Today my custom pu-erh/lapsang blend fortified us as we worked in the garden, transplanting and dividing perennials and creating a new 10×50 foot bed full of daisies, monarda, salvia, lilies, and hostas. We worked for an hour, drank a cup, worked for another hour, drank another cup — until we were done.

For some unknown reason, we drank this after dinner last night. It didn’t have the same relaxing and digestive effect that the silk tie guan yin did. Must remember to stick with the oolongs after dinner and leave the heavily fermented yunnanese teas for the morning and afternoon.
