2020 Baby Dragon Raw Puerh from Crimson Lotus teas. A reasonably priced easy drinking puerh blend. Early steeps are fruity and soft. As you push the length of steeps, a bitter green backbone becomes apparent in the aftertaste.

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.

Crimson Lotus Intergalactic, received in tea trade. Solid malty Yunnan red tea, sort of half way between the fruity and savory styles of Yunnan red teas.

#sheng #puer today, Honeybomb from #CrimsonLotusTea.

The #tbr pile behind has shrunk somewhat from yesterday. I finished book two in #gailcarriger's #SanAndreasShifters series around 2am (hello occasional insomnia) and now have begun book three, The Enforcer Enigma.

I rarely find werewolves interesting, presumably some Twilight related aversion, but I'll read anything Gail writes.
