This pu’erh was bolder in flavor and darker in color than the other samples. It also had considerably more of that pu’erh sweetness to it, and despite being bold it was still mellow. It had strong wood notes of cedar and oak, and also had a distinct “wild mushroom” flavor to it.

Overall I think seemed to be the finest and highest quality of the pu’erhs Mr. Mopar sent me

Profile

Bio

My name is Thomas,

I’ve always loved tea and coffee, but I only started getting into good quality loose tea about a year ago.

My favorites teas right now are pu’erhs, Yunnan blacks, and Taiwanese oolongs. The only non-flavored teas that I don’t really care for are jasmine teas and highly vegetal greens. I’m not that into flavored teas, but I love a good cup of chai.

I’m a junior at University of Central Florida studying Health Services Administration, and I hope to go on to get my master’s degree.

Besides tea, I’m pretty obsessed with music. I’ve played guitar and violin for quite a while in classical styles, rock, etc., and am currently spending most of my music time studying sitar and hindustani sangeet. My music preferences are sort of all over the place.

Also love hiking/camping, Minecraft, Dr. Who, and downhill longboarding :)
