I am drinking this tonight, it’s been a while since I’ve had it and I felt like having an evening cuppa… I put a whole coin into my small yixing teapot and short steeps are good with this combination. Tonight this seems delicious and tastes like chocolate to me. I would definitely get some more of these coins, but I just looked at the Bana website and the package is $42 now! I think I paid about 1/2 that much a couple of years ago. I guess they must be selling out? I will savor this tonight…

I finally negotiated my severance package with my ex workplace, I think I will be happy when this whole ordeal is behind me!

ReadingMMMMMM CHOOOCOLATE…” $42!?… :(

I know of a tea shop owner in NY who bought out a ton of her own stock of ripe pu coins.

TeaBrat

apt – maybe it was these because they’re the only coins that have been on Bana’s site…
JC – like a fine wine it just got better & more pricey with age. sigh

apt

no it’s definitely not these, they weren’t from Bana. They were 2005 vintage, individually wrapped, and 7g each.

TeaBrat

ah, ok sorry I was confused :)

Cheri

Yay for finally getting that stuff with the ex-work all sorted out. I hope it’s all finished and finalized quickly so you can really move on.

Thanks Cheri :)

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
