This is a 2021 sheng puer tea from Crimson Lotus Tea.

Brewing setup: 5g tea ball grandpa style with boiling water

Tasting notes: some bitterness and astringency, vegetal notes, refreshing

Tea high: normal caffeine alertness, nothing crazy as expected by the name/description of the tea

Overall, this was a good raw puer. I’m brewing grandpa style this week because I’m traveling for work and don’t have my gaiwan. I was looking forward to getting my gourd smashed by this tea, but unfortunately I didn’t experience that. Maybe I'm not someone who’s super sensitive to cha qi.
