When thoughts feel tangled, when decisions hover quietly in the air — this is the cup I reach for.
It feels clear, invigorating, and alive.
New Horizon - A young (2022), raw fermented tea from wild tea trees in Vietnam, carrying the untamed energy of mountain air and ancient roots. It doesn’t overwhelm, but gently sharpens.
It feels like opening a window inside myself. It's the tea for moments where life demands inner clarity.
💎 NEW HORIZON 💎 - A tea for moments where you feel: something in you is ready to move forward...
A clear, invigorating #tea experience, crafted from the leaves of ancient wild tea trees in the highlands of Northern Vietnam in 2022. Processed in the style of #shengpuerh. Bright and alive, this tea unfolds sweetness with aromatic floral notes and a distinct bitterness.
A quiet promise of growth and transformation – clarity and gentle inspiration in every cup. 🍵
Tea number 9 from a recent Pu-Erh.SK tasting flight seems to be an old school rustic puerh with more than a little age. A bit smoky, clean storage character, complex flavor, enjoyable calming energy.

Likewise, no one is going to mistake White2Tea's 2017 Farmer Direct raw puerh for a ripe puerh. Thanks for putting up with my nonsense!

I was looking around last night for something interesting to drink and noticed this "Jing Mai 2004" (raw puerh) from Farmer Leaf. I don't know any details about this tea beyond that it seems to have been included with another order as a bonus (I think maybe after one of my orders disappeared in transit). Farmer Leaf's first incarnation didn't exist until 2011, so it can't really be a 'Farmer Leaf" tea. However, William's in-laws were in the tea business in Jing Mai prior to 2011, so perhaps a find in the family warehouse. Fairly strong storage character, mild bitterness, and soft tea flavor would be how I would describe the flavor. Energy is chest centered, clean, and relaxing.
Xizihao Daughter "Oddly Confused" 2016 Raw Puerh Tea. Xizihao Daughter is a Taiwan based tea supplier who (mostly) specializes in puerh. Artistic labels, unusual names, mysterious origins, fairly expensive teas, quasi luxury trappings. (Sound familiar?) I picked up a sampler of some of their young-middle aged puerh. "Oddly Confused" is good now and I can kind of see where it is going. I bet it will be really good in a few years once it completely settles in to it's flavors, but it isn't there yet.

2016 "Beneath an Emerald Sea" raw puerh blend from Crimson Lotus teas. Received via tea trade. Small leaves and pieces, keeping the steeps short. Floral and herbaceous, very low bitterness. Some aged character showing up in the early steeps. Clean energy. Another enjoyable young puerh from this producer.

Low Rider 2019 Raw Puerh from Crimson Lotus received via tea trade. Easy drinking low bitterness, lower astringency, young puerh. Darker flavors; good length of flavor in the mind and empty cup.

A nice comforting cup of puerh for a rainy morning. I like to drink with the weather, so today I'm having a geosmin heavy, Hong Kong traditionally stored, raw puerh from Yeeon Tea.

Finishing off the aged raw puerh MyTeaPal club sampler with the last of the 2013 Mangfei Dashu, Yongde, Lincang, raw puerh. Stored loose in Chengdu, Sichuan, for around 10 years. I think, ultimately, this might have been my favorite of the four.

A bit disappointed that the 2009 MyTeaPal Club Bulang Arbor, which has been stored in Chengdu since 2015, doesn't taste/smell like Chengdu chile oil. (It's actually a very good middle aged raw puerh.)

Interesting to see the response to the somewhat strong wet storage character of the 2011 Cao Gen raw puerh, (Bulang tea, Guangdong storage,) among the MyTeaPal club subscribers. I liked it and it reminded me I should revisit some of the teas in my collection with wet storage character. Most had another response.

2010-15 Yiwu Dashu raw puerh blend from MyTeaPal Club. Good scent and body, mild flavor. A bit of astringency, I assume from the younger leaves in the blend. Enjoyable, but a touch green. (Small Moon White Ruyau Gaiwan from Mud and Leaves.)

White2Tea's owner turned up cakes of 2007 Mengsong Raw Puerh when they were doing an inventory of their storage in 2022. Figured they had probably bought it as an investment and stashed it away in storage to sell later. Giving it a try, they found it had settled nicely into middle age, so shipped some samples of it out to the White2Tea tea club in Aug, 2022. Awesome W2T storage, clean flavor, and quality material.

2006 Mengku from Pu-Erh.sk. The clean storage on this makes it a nice contrast with the similar aged Yunnan Sourcing 2004 Big Snow Mountain Mengku the other day. The 2006 is probably a better tea, but it is much earlier in its evolution than the wet stored 2004. The smell of the 2006 is great, but there's something kind of green in the taste of the early steeps that puts me off. #RawPuerh #ShengPuerh #PuerhSK #Tea #Cha #DailyTea @tea
2004 "Millennium Old Tree" Big Snow Mountain Raw Puerh was from a Yunnan Sourcing "Wet Storage" sampler. When I tried this tea back in 2019, I really didn't like it. Now I find it pretty appealing. Hard to say what has changed, me, the tea, or both of us. Probably both of us.

Hoping for luck with my fortune today. 2016 Fortune Teller Maocha from White2Tea.

This 2009 Bulang Arbor raw puerh from the Jan MyTeaPal Club, is the gem of the set. Mellow flavor, touch of storage chracter, great length of scent, subtle lingering bitterness.

"2010-2015 Yiwu Dashu" from MyTeaPal Club this AM. Despite some time in humid Guangzhou storage, the storage character of this raw puerh is very mild. Actually, a very mild raw puerh overall. A pleasant tea, but it leaves few lingering impressions in the empty cup or in my mind.

Raw Puerh perception spot check with 2009 "Douji's Jingmai" from Pu-Erh.SK. I think this was a part of a sample set which featured "Douji's Pure Series" raw puerh cakes. Smoky, sweet, bitter; powerful energy.
