This is a cooked, wet-store pu’er. I’m using a set of tea pliers (more convenient than the more traditional tea knives) to break some off for brewing.
This is that tea brewed in my portable pot/cup combo.
Yum! I see that it’s shu, how does this one taste? Also, that mini shiboridashi-ish thing is pretty!
This was a fairly aged cooked (about 10 years, IIRC?) so it was very earthy and almost mushroomy in the aftertaste. One of the more mellow ones.
Personally I prefer raws, though. The cooked, however, are more forgiving and more suited to off-the-cuff brews like the one there: the raws require very precise timing to avoid that flood of bitters; I’d use a full-on tea set most times.
