Man… Another winner from AllanK.
One rinse only, and this had just a subtle earthiness, definitely not much. It was smooth and lovely. The tea brewed up to a topaz shade. Very lovely.
I had a long and unpleasant Sunday, into today, in a war with an Ikea bed frame. I’d like to say that I won, but it was more of a tie. I’m not feeling super poetic, but this was damn good. I’m just gonna leave it at that!

So glad you got good tea through all this IKEA ordeal!!
And yo, Allan knows how to shou!! Sounds great :-)
Is it just me, or does it seem like every time someone has to assemble Ikea furniture they’re in a war?
Unfortunately, the IKEA war of 2014 isn’t over. It’s on hold til my stepdad can come over on Saturday. But the frame is together and sturdy enough to sleep on, so I’m at least happy about that!!!!
You won the battle but not the war!
Exactly, KiwiD!
At least you drank some good Shou after the battle. I’m glad you liked the Lucky Dragon. I’ve had good luck from that seller, not as good as the Song of Chi Tse, but then again they don’t sell many Dayis at Streetshop88. Are you going to buy the Lucky Dragon? It’s a 200g cake.
The 2010 Golden Needle White Lotus is even better, only not as aged with a little more fermentation flavor.
I may wait, A. Not because I don’t like it, but because I need to slow down.
I’ll try the Golden Needle tomorrow then :)
Hey that Streetshop88 is the guy from whom I bought my Overlord Drunk puerh cake, lol. Scratch from the street for us addicts on a jones.
I may be waiting several days to try the next one of yours. I want to give these teas multiple steepings and I have to be up at 5am for the next several days. Looks like three nights of rooibos for me. It tried the Port today, it was good.
I am glad Allan came over to us from TeaChat.
Same here :)
