MzPriss’ Unflavored Tea Box – Tea #10
Another fantastic pu-erh from Mandala. They are all so different. I used a teaspoon of this one so there would be a little left for someone else to try and just filled the mug not quite to the top. The first cup was all leather, in the tastiest way possible. The most leathery pu-erh I’ve tried. It wasn’t really chocolate until the second very dark cup and lost most of the leather flavor. It’s interesting that it changes so much from cup to cup. I wish I had more to say about this one but I’ve been writing tasting notes sometimes days after I’ve tried a tea, whenever I get a chance. I’m not doing these teas any justice!
I’m very happy I’ve been able to try a few of the Mandala pu-erhs! I love to figure out what I like. It seems most of the teas in the teabox have two teaspoons left, so when I send the teabox on, there will only be one teaspoon left of things. I’m not even sure if I’ll have space to add teas, but I’ll figure it out.
Steep #1 // rinse // 5 min after boiling // 2 min
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3 min

This is one of my favorites from Mandala.
Me too Ashmanra!
Isn’t this one the loose form of the Phatty cake? :)
Yes it is, I have both and adore them!!
I’m smiling this morning. Had a wonderful yoga class this morning and then get here to the shop to read fun reviews and greet such nice people on Steepster. Now for some serious bagging of the tea for other nice people. Kinda wish the 4 of us were sitting down in the tea room together. Wouldn’t that be a joy! Well, at least we can enjoy the same tea, right??

Aw, thanks! That made ME smile! Well, we can’t sip tea together, but I’m going outside to read a book. :D
