Temperature: 208° FThese four Shou Girls put on a great show! This is a custom blended shou puerh that is super cozy and comforting. It's a very smooth, easy drinking shou. It just feels right. It is a relaxing, daily drinker shou.Each wrapper design was painted with watercolor by Seattle artist Stasia Burrington. She is the same artist from our Space Girls cakes. Take the time to explore her amazing artwork: http://www.stasiaburrington.com/Just like with "Space Girls" each order comes with 4x 50g cakes in a hand wrapped bamboo tong. Each cake is wrapped with a different Shou Girl design. The tea is the same in each cake.The cakes are heavily pressed and it's easiest to break them into brewable chunks by snapping the cakes with your hands instead of using a tea knife.We are excited for people to get their own bamboo wrapped tong. Receiving and opening a tong is exciting. Most people don't get the chance to experience opening their own tong. We don't offer samples of this tea because we want everyone to get their own tong to open.
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have an aroma of peat moss and earth.
The liquor is dark red-brown and opaque with an aroma of moss, earth, nut shells, and a hint of cocoa. The taste is rich and earthy.
This had the rich, earthy notes I look forward to in a good shou puerh with flavor and aroma that holds up well to multiple infusions. While I enjoyed the results from brewing this tea western-style, brewing it gongfu-style using more leaf brought out deeper and more flavorful infusions.
This tea was purchased by me.
