2013 Gushù Bādá from Puerh.SK. Young to middle age raw puerh, fairly clean storage character. Don't know much else about the tea, was included as a sample with another order. (Glad I replaced our water filter before brewing!)

Revisiting a cake of "Red Wine" Thailand black tea made from tea leaves usually intended for the Thai equivalent of Puerh. And a new pot from Jiri Lang, maybe the bigger knob will help me from dropping the lid.

Inspired by his Mom's tea drinking habits, in 2021 Peter from Pu-Erh.SK was inspired to have his Thai producer process some of the Maocha intended for Puerh as red tea. He calls it "Red Wine" and the name is entirely appropriate. On the fruity/herby side of black tea with great length of flavor and resteepability.

This mysterious black tea pot from Jiri Duchek (via Pu-Erh.SK) seems a good match for aged Ripened Puerh, (in this case 2014 Red Shroom from White2Tea).

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

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.

Trying this experimental black tea pot from Jiri Duchek (via Pu-Erh.sk) with some everyday Da Hong Pao from Tong Xin She Teahouse. Hm. Might be too porous, maybe Shu Puerh instead?

Tools of the trade. If you drink compressed teas, you need something to tease them apart. If you're going to splurge on a dedicated tool, this tea knife from Pu-erh.sk is a good choice.

Odds and ends white tea blend this AM. Mostly "Morning Dew" Thailand white from Pu-erh.sk. Filled out with Fuding white from Mud and Leaves.

Red Saturday. 2019 Mànsā black tea from Pu-erh.sk.
This hyper compressed tea ball takes patience, or forgetfulness, to brew well.
