This is a special shou. Yiwu shou puerh teas are in a class of their own already, but this one really hooked us from the first session. We could not help but noticing a specific and unique soda style effervescence that reminded us of sarsparilla or root beer. We've never had a tea like that before. This tea presents a forward herbal appearance. It is a very clean brewing shou with a delicate bitterness and a very sweet. smooth, and relaxing flavor. It's a very slippery and viscous tea. It doesn't brew super dark and dank. It has a reserved elegance. It has a very mellow energy. Brewing Instructions Use 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling. Rinse twice for a few seconds each. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.
