2005 Menghai Ripe Pu-erh Tea Mini Tuo Cha

Great for everyday drinking.

It's definitely a low grade cut, tinny pieces that make a bit of a mess when steeping that also consequently steep so rapidly that you only got 2-3 really strong steeps before it gets spent. But it's aged so long that it's really good. It's my second batch because I really like the convenience of the cute serving size packages. The flavor is good for everyday drinking, nothing crazy, right in the middle of things.

Not my favorite but good

These are rather interesting. Very unlike any other shu I have tried. I have found i like them best tossed in a thermos for a few hours, which has become my go to brewing method for shu. I dont get much in the way of forest floor or mushroom or chocolate or even nuttiness, but what I find is earthy dried stonefruit and camphor. Its not one that I find myself reaching for often, but im glad I have it because of how different it is from anything else in my collection.

Great!

I ordered four different types of tea, and they all got shipped in one package and it arrived very quickly and was packed very neatly into clearly-labelled resealable bags, and they all taste perfect, so overall a great experience!
