This was the ugliest tea I have set eyes on. Looks like a birds nest that was stepped on outside, picked up, and placed in my Kamjove.

I actually looked at it for awhile because I couldn’t bring myself to pour hot water over something like that… and then I remembered, a lot of tea looks this way.

I ended up steeping this six times and work and realized that it isn’t very strong for a ripe. It’s somewhat mellow which for some is a positive, but I like my sheng mellow and my ripe strong. Light color are light and dark colors are dark, for me that is how it works. This would one to drink while eating though!

@LP: I agree that looks are not as important as personality, and this one sounds like a wallflower :p
Thanks for the review!

This tea is admittedly less bombastic than most ripes, likely because it’s got over a decade of aging on it. I quite like it. I also tend to use more leaf than I usually do for this one (8g at least) because it is so mellow and subtle.

boychik

i was gonna say the same as curlygc: for aged shou i use at least 1g/10ml. sometimes even heavier

Liquid Proust

Maybe I’ll try using more one day. I generally use 4g per 3 ounces of water.

boychik

in general, i didnt make it up, pu drinkers use 1g/15ml for sheng and 1g/10ml for shou. of course its not written in stone, you can use any amount you feel comfortable with ;)

mrmopar

Bump that to 10 and gong fu it in a gaiwan. It should kick then.

TheOolongDrunk

Just wondering, would you recommend this one? I’m, thinking about buying a sample.
