Just a quick note on this… So I got to visit my mom and siblings in San Diego, California this past week. I brought a bunch of these because they are so convenient, my Zojirushi thermos, a gaiwan, a couple of other stuff… Didn’t take notes, just counted silently, just enjoyed cups and cups of it. It’s so mellow for a beginner pu erh person (me me me lol). I also upped the rating. I still don’t know what I taste other than the cocoa and delicate sweetness but it was as delightful as spending time with my family. Mom nagged me about cutting my hair (it’s past my waist) and she says I look like cousin-it (haha) but that’s mom. Easy to stay mellow while sipping on this tea :P.

Flavors: Cocoa, Sweet

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 15 sec 7 g 4 OZ / 110 ML
Mastress Alita

I love San Diego! I’ve been on vacation there a few times. If you feel like tea-cationing, I highly recommend High Tea at Shakespeare’s Corner Shoppe. _

I bet your long hair is lovely, Kawaii433.

Don’t feel bad, Kawaii433, I have waist/hip-length hair, suffer from tonsurephobia, and have had to deal with comments like that from family before, too. I’ve just had to learn to block them out, and have learned from watching fierce Drag Queens that you do what makes you feel beautiful, not what others tell you. ;-)

@Mastress Alita Next time I go there, I’ll try the High Tea at Shakespeare’s Corner Shoppe. I will save that in my yelp bookmarks hehe… And I’m for learning from “fierce Drag Queens”, Mastress Alita! I have tonsurephobia for sure. o.O

@Derk Thank you derk. <3 I may look like cousin-it but I like it.

Profile

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
