This tea is so freaking good. I am having a yixing session with it and it’s amazing -woody, creamy, mushrooms, and almost a milk chocolate note coming out. The smell is soooo good too, definitely a creamy chocolate scent! So rich, so delicious. I needed this. Perfect for a chilly, lazy, stay inside day. The bf is hungover so might be a relaxing, drink tea kind of day so as to not disturb him with vacuuming, errands, and everything else I should get done. But I should just enjoy some down time and de-stress.
Oh, and prayers and love to everyone affected by the Nepal earthquake. Such a terrible thing to have happened :(.

very sad…
It’s pretty horrible in Nepal.
I struggle with pu-er. Either I find them fishy and gross, or I find one that I like but doesn’t like me — they keep upsetting my stomach. This one sounds good.
I wonder if making pu-er in a yixing vessel would help. I’ve just used a Western-style metal strainer and glass cup.
I agree it’s terrible what happened in Nepal :( and I also make puerh western style, much more regularly than yixing, but I usually do at least 1 or 2 25s rinses then only 30s steeps, seems to tone down fishiness quite a lot :) I find shu good for my tummy but sheng sometimes too strong for it. Hopefully you can find one that works, good puerh is awesome in my opinion! :)
Agreed. The Nepal quake has killed more than 10 times as many people as the Yunnan quake of 9 months ago. http://steepster.com/discuss/10941-nepal-earthquake-more-than-7000-dead-18000-injured
