69

I’m striking out on teas today. I got a sample in my order from puerhshop.com, and I was hoping for something nicely aged. This had an unpleasant bitterness and no really pleasant flavors to speak of. There was some earthiness. Not overwhelming, but not very good either. I’m really sad because I’ve been trying to Shou all day and I’m not getting anywhere LOL.

Maybe I should brew something I know I like and make sure my taster isn’t off!!

Bummer! You should definitely try drinking something you know you like. I had special dark yesterday and year of the dragon today…been in a shu mood!

It worked! I switched to fungus tea and it was quite good!

I was thinking about buying this with my last order but the cakes were expensive. If it only rates a 69 I’m glad I didn’t buy a cake.

Maybe try a sample, A. It could just be me, but I wasn’t getting much. I’d send ya some, but I only had enough for one session.

Perhaps I will buy a sample when I put in another order, in a couple of months. I have 12 puerh from puerhshop to review now, not counting their free samples.
