  1. #Tea #TeaSession @tea

    Started with a #Shou #Puerh from Myanmar.
    I ordered it from a local shop, which apparently had less than a cake of this tea - it's already gone from their site.

    According to the label - 2018, #GuShu material.

    Dry leaves smell like a fruit wood.

    When brewed - taste like a very light shou, pretty much without any traces of a dustiness.

    We coined a description - "fruit tree branches taste".

    More or less just a curious thing to try once.

  2. #Tea @tea
    I'm going to spend what's left from "Peony Chirps" - #GuShu (100+ yo trees) #BaiCha (white tea) from Nan Nuo [Spring `21, ML], but this attempt was something different - brewing in silver and sipping from my latest purchased cup.

    The pros and cons of brewing in silver are about the same - teapot doesn't add (or take out) anything to the tea, being quite honest about actual liquid taste, but oftentimes you need that effect of a clay.
