2021 JingMai MiYun raw puerh. Farmer Leaf's "Daily Drinker" JingMai blend from younger eco farmed trees is a treat that will probably out live me before it reaches it's peak drinkability. So, there is no time like today.

2001 "Red Ribbon" raw puerh via Teas We Like. In this tea's case, after a couple decades of "Dry Malaysian storage", the middle steeps could have been mistaken for ripe Puerh. Check that soup color!

Harlequin 2023 charcoal roasted raw puerh from White2Tea. This is the third charcoal roasted raw puerh I've tried from White2Tea and I think it might be my favorite. Not so much for the flavor, (which is fine, but pretty typical of traditional young raw puerh, a bit vegetal and astringent,) but for the very pleasant chest/throat energy. Whee!

2011 BGT Yiwu Sheng Puerh (Huangpian) via pu-erh.sk. "BGT" stands for "Big Green Tree" and it refers to an illustration of a green tree on Puerh wrappers. "Huangpian" teas are made from less than perfect looking leaves which are put aside during the production of Puerh tea. The advantage to Huangpian is that, visual imperfections aside, it gives you access to teas at a relatively reasonable price that might otherwise be quite expensive.

Pu-erh.sk sells a 2011 BGT that was a special edition commissioned by Taiwanese Puerh collectors. This is a rock-like lump of the Huangpian from that batch.

2011 BGT (Huangpian) is a powerful tea in every sense of the expression. Slow to open up even after a couple rinses and a bit of time steaming, this gets going around steep 5 or 6. The energy is a lightness in the chest and throat. I felt pretty lightheaded around steep 9. Still feeling and tasting this tea several hours after the last steep.

Trying another puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea, 2017 Ginseng Brick Ripened Puerh. Warming, easy drinking ripe puerh with a pleasant huigan (lingering sweet bitterness) and surprisingly zippy head based energy.

Bottom of the bags of some furrier types of green tea, like this Long Mei Yunnan tea of Zhenyuan, can be dusty and a bit intense. Zoom, zoom!

Google translate has the Chinese characters on the bag as "Flower Machine Full of Incense", but the producer, Tong Xin She Teahouse, says it is 2021 Lao Cong Man Tang Xiang Dancong Oolong and translates it from Chinese as "Old Bush Roomful of Fragrance" Dancong Oolong. Take your pick, either seems appropriate.

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.
