Here’s my favorite tea…

I’ve been exploring the world of tea for about 5 years and have tried just over 200 teas of nearly all tea types. There is one tea that I’ve consistently gone back to since I have discovered it. It is a sheng puer from Yunnan Sourcing. I have an interesting relationship with this tea. I have never thought of this tea as wildly complex or as an experience. Instead, it has balance with just the right amount of intrigue to work as a daily drinker. I’m always happy to drink this tea.

Tasting notes: Thick texture; mineral, wood, and sweet body; citrus and herb high notes; a bitter-to-sweet aftertaste transformation.

      Gyokuro, Xi Hu Long Jing, & Taiping Hou Kui - I see you like fresh vegetal notes. These can be pricey. 🥲

      Harney and Sons Paris - I haven’t tried too many flavored teas, but this sounds like an interesting blend of flavors!
