I hope you will join us for OTTI #5 "Young Raw Pu-erh"
OOPs, all "seats" taken. Please join us for a future OTTI!
This OTTI promises to be an exciting one! 5 young raw pu-erh (sheng) from 2 member vendors! This is a first of at least several Pu-erh OTTI which will follow a logical path of new first, 90's second, and older third ... at least this is the current plan.
I have to say, I have so far conducted prelim tastings of 4 out the 5 ... and I am already having daily Pu-erh cravings which I normally only have for sencha!
I am told by more experienced Pu-erh members that this should be an outstanding OTTI line up to start things off. The 2 vendor members are Nada of http://www.essenceoftea.co.uk/news.html and TIM from http://www.themandarinstearoom.com/
A distinguishing feature of all 5 selections is they are all produced from ancient tea trees and are relatively small productions. Please read the descriptions for each tea. Nada's teas are more southern while TIM's are more northern ... something like that.
As we go, I will attempt to offer more information, and others will hopefully enlighten us as well.
Vendor 1 Essense of Tea. 3 2010 vintage selctions. I was quite surprised how amazing these were for their youth!
2010 Bangwai Village http://www.essenceoftea.co.uk/2010-Bangwai.html
2010 Manmai Village http://www.essenceoftea.co.uk/2010-Manmai.html
2010 Mansai Village http://www.essenceoftea.co.uk/2010-Mansai.html
Vendor 2 The Mandarins Tearoom. Just received these today, so I will have to add some notes here in the next couple days.

First I sent Chip a PM to join Round #5 and then I read about the teas that are included!
I have one question - do I need any special equipment to brew pu-erh. I don't have a gaiwan, but I do have 2 white porcelain tasting sets.

That would be fine.
You will want to get a gaiwan sooner or later ... it actually took me almost 7 years ... and that one was given to me by a member.

After mention this to someone at work - come to find out this person is a pu drinker! Shock! So I will be sharing my samples with him, since he is more of an expert than me! Ha!
Now I'm really excited!
