2025 Day-Blind Stars

Type of tea: Raw Puer

Brewing method: 6oz in gaiwan, boiling water

Starts out with a sweet warmth similar to toy glass candy mixed with a bit of salty grassiness. The sweetness also becomes a little more plant-y as you go. Energizing, good for many steeps.

2023 Red Loon

Type of tea: Ripe Puer

Brewing method: 6oz in gaiwan, boiling water

After a brisk autumn walk on my day off, I wanted something that was kind of like fallen leaves with a slight touch of decay. That's almost exactly what this tea smells like, with a mild layer of sweet creaminess once brewed. I had three steeps while setting up this new page on the blog, and they were smooth and earthy throughout.
