Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses

This was a fun tea to develop. While we normally aim to be transparent in terms of our teas’ region and provenance in order to educate and help calibrate tastes, we’re keeping quiet this time, so this tea will help with none of that. Instead, this is a tea to turn your brain off for and just enjoy. Of course, you’re still free to analyse and see what traits you can pick out (is that a touch of Laomane I detect?). With this Menghai area-heavy blend of multiple raw puers, our intention was to bring in all the aspect of what we feel an ideal tea should be. We started from a strong base, then went on balance out a bold body with interesting fragrances and add layers to the mix – all with the critical criteria of maintaining an affordable price. Having spent quite a few sessions getting to know this tea since it was pressed, we’re quite pleased the results. $0.15/gram
