Souvenir from our belated and much-needed 40th anniversary stay-cation run to northwest Arkansas yesterday.
The pu-erh base as good and strong, but not as minerally as I expected. In the sniffy jar at the store, the orange peel and vanilla scents were pretty mild, but at home and steeped properly, they make themselves known nicely. Rather than tasting like a creamscicle, this reminds me of a beefier version of Harney & Sons Tower of London.
My only snark is that Spice & Tea Exchange is pricey, and they recommend a crazy amount of leaf per 8 ounces. I can get a nice cuppa with about half their recommended amount and a good long steep time.

Happy Anniversary! That’s good to know about their leaf recommendations. Sounds like a nice cuppa!
We were young and stupid and wanted to tie the knot as quickly as I finished summer college term, so official date is mid-September. Years wiser, we wish we had postponed the wedding until October. So we’ve agreed to revise the Official Matrimonial Calendar.
