Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Our Reckless Daughter is a blend of several lightly fermented small batch shou Puer teas from the last few years. This tea is meant to be aged, but veteran Puer drinkers won't flinch at the brisk sweetness and higher floral notes that blanket the unruly freshness of the pile and the scant, darker traditional shou aspects of the tea. This tea drinks much like an aged sheng Puer, rather than a traditional shou, and will continue to progress in that direction over the coming years, retaining a strong huigan (returning sweetness in the mouth) and strong feel. Each cake is 200 grams of tea.
