Bought this 1 kilo of ripe from Dizzy Puerh on Taobao. Sessioned it today though it really needs more time to rest and lose the wo dui flavor, which actually isn’t bad. Cracked off about 8 grams into my usual 125 ml water. Two rinses and two strainers and then did 4 short steeps. This ripe is more lively on the tongue than the older, and originally nicer cake that I have.

I am not a collector of ripe, but it drink it a lot. This tea is for puerh like Maxwell House is for coffee. Not the premium stuff, but gets the job done. More of my silliness and pics of the session on my blog -—→http://deathbytea.blogspot.com

I have a Chinese army recruitment cup that makes me think of the Chairman whenever I look at it.

Bio

I’m a tea drunk with baggage and issues. Convent trained, PhD, strong background in herbal infusions during those years. Started drinking green teas almost 20 years ago to address a kidney issue, now in remission, and never looked back. Seeking friends and curators with interests in premium and small batch teas. I drink all greens, and maintain a small collection of sheng and shu cakes. I am interested in first flush, wild leaf, ancient leaf, teas for and by monks and nuns, and difficult teas. My appreciation is high for subtle palates, though my own is rather average. Always interested in unique teas, brewing and storage issues.
