drank 2013 Ontario 1357 Shou Pu-erh Cake by Whispering Pines Tea Company
199 tasting notes

Thanks Brenden! :D

Very clean shou, no fermentation flavors. Strong notes of caramel, cocoa.. slightly sweet. Didn’t last as long as I was hoping – only got about 8 steeps before the color faded, but still good flavor in the following steeps. Great entry-level shou for those who might be new to puerh. No off-putting flavors, delicious consistency.

Flavors: Caramel, Cocoa, Sweet

Preparation
7 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

Agreed! I purchased a 1/2 LB of the 2013 Ontario 1357 Loose Shou Pu-erh and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bio

Learning more about tea every day.

Likes: Greens, whites, oolongs, blacks, and herbals! Just depends on the mood :)
Dislikes: Coconut, melon, chocolate, peach, cherry

I also collect antique teaware (Chinese and Japanese).

I’d love to try new types, varieties, etc. I’m still exploring pu-erh to make a complete decision whether to keep trying it or just count it as a loss.

I’d love to trade with anyone who likes something that I might have! I just have to get everything added to my cupboard first :)
