1997 Heng Li Chang Bulang puerh, enjoying it from pot (yixing) and cup (Nakao spring galaxy) that were packed up for too long--so nice to have access to them all. Sweet, earthy, humus, so tasty and comforting.
I've finally made the last trip to empty the old house, and I'm getting a cold, so it's time to spoil myself a little.

Re: Official Pu of the day
Bai Cha Tang 7th Generation Green Cake 2006 - Raw - One of my the best pu last time. It links the power of young puer and nice and warm notes of dried plums and fresh hay.
This tea is much more patient than me- I usually made more than 13 brewing. It's a pity that tihs cake is no more availible at Dragon Tea House.

Re: Official Pu of the day
Spent most of the day with Norbu's private label 2011 white buds http://www.norbutea.com/2011NorbuWhiteB ... gory_id=48. Really interesting stuff. Not bitter at all for a new sheng and doesn't have that mouth/throat drying after effect. A little sweetness and has a very nice cooling effect. Intense yet delicate juniper/evergreen aroma that fills the room and aftertaste that keeps popping up for hours. I'm dig'n it a lot.

Re: Official Pu of the day
Hi everyone, yesterday I've tried 2003 Menghai Purple Da Yi 7432.
Honestly, I found the tea too expensive (178 usd) for what it is . Has anyone else tried this?

Re: Official Pu of the day
Enjoying a nice, quiet afternoon listening to classical music, reading Moyashimon, and drinking a nice woody, calming, 1994 loose sheng; it's been a really nice way to spend the end of a long holiday weekend before heading back to work tomorrow!

I doubt that. Your almond might be my vanilla, but cat urine?MarshalN wrote:My almond is your cat urine.

Alas, it's just quick reviews. I don't like writing about specific notes anyway, since those are pretty meaningless for other people.
