This is an interesting Sheng Puerh because it has a very strong earthiness to it – stronger than I’m used to with a sheng. This is much more like a shu to me. But it has a lot of interesting flavors to it – sweet, bitter (which also surprised me, this savory bitterness), even sour notes that morphed into a gently sweet aftertaste.
A rather unusual but enjoyable Puerh. I look forward to trying more from this company!

PS: Look at this tea set… I want! http://esgreen.com/products-page/pottery/yixing-zhi-sha-yellow-buff-colored-clay-tea-set-tree-stump/
OMG that set is absolutely amazing!
Wow. That price is not bad for all those pieces.
OMG I love trees!! I have stumps from tress others have sadly cut down all over my yard. I want this!
oooooh SO beautiful! Also want!
I like the idea and look of the set, my only question/concern is about steep times… It seems to be missing a gaiwan/teapot, so would you not be able to brew something for say 20/30 seconds? Or would you just pour what is in the pitcher back over the strainer for the additional steep time?
