Tea reviews
Thick, rich, cultivated
This review helped: 0 / 0
The smell of steamed leaves is a mix of earthiness and tropical fruits.
The brew has very smooth, refined taste. Earthiness combines nicely with the fruitiness and is topped with a sweet aftertaste in the mouth.
The consistency of tea is very thick, rich. As if the tea would increased the density of infusion in your mouth. In the aftertaste there is astringency, fruity tones. Your mouth is flooded by slightly earthy and sweet taste coming back from your throat after a while – May be Hui Gan again? It is just a very pleasant feeling in the mouth.
I am sipping tea in the morning with an empty stomach, so there is no obstacle standing in tea’s path. After the third cup I was shot down. I did not notice gradual onset of energy from the stomach up. It is simply a direct hit to my head. Everything is in a light haze.
Again, excellent tea. Very thick, rich and cultivated. Price is €35 per 250g or €1.2 per 1g.

Quotes - Pu-erh
„Some more obvious manifestations of cha qi are a heating or cooling of the extremities (eg, sweaty palms when drinking a ‘warming’ tea like aged puerh or heavily roasted oolong), a flushing of the face, or a measurable change in mood. In a small group, tea can either lead to deep conversation, giddy laughter, or contemplative silence.“

Quotes
„So it seems coming to life is not necessarily a thing to be celebrated.
Just as death is not always something to be mourned, being born is not necessarily a joy in its self.
When you are born, you cry, but the whole word is overjoyed.
When you die, the world cries, but you may find the great liberation.“

1 review„tailor-made” private production “Zhong Cha Gong Si” in Dayi (Menghai tea factory). This tea is made by a dayi employe on a special request from Taiwan. This is a perfect, aged shu pu-erh tea for a reasonable price. Why? It was produced in large scale so the final price of this tea is very affordable. It was stored in Taiwan and in 10 years transformed into a stage when this shu pu-erh is very tasty to drink. This private production tea is not burdened with a famous brand name so...
