Strange Tea of the Day ...

[Doc4]

Okay ... not too sure where I should put this one, but ...

I've had my first session with a new tea: "early spring 2012 'sun-dried buds' wild pu-erh" ...

It smells like a whole bunch of things, none of which I'd call "tea" in any sort of "what I was used to" sense. Maybe it smells like hay, or grass, or vetiver ....

Well, it strikes me as a bit of an 'acquired taste' ... but I'm starting to come around.

Any idea who produced it? Was it a bing or loose in a box or what?

I got this on a whim a few months ago and it is great.

I've had the 2008 Dehong and similar teas. I like to brew it at fairly low temps 160 - 170 to try to coax out as much of the floral and heather aromas as possible.
