A great tea for its value. A nice, well-priced young pu’erh. Plenty strong and good for drinking now.
Acquired from Yunnan Sourcing.

Nanjian’s 2011 Organic Mushroom Ripe Pu’erh via Yunnan Sourcing [Episode 94]
This is a great clean, daily drinking ripe pu’erh for those on a budget. Ceritified organic, with just a little bit of the pile taste, it’s sold for an exceedingly reasonable price by Yunnan Sourcing. Recommended by Denny as a great intro ripe pu’erh.

Lincang Raw Pu’erh [January 2015 Tea Drinking Report]
Big shoutouts to Dignitea, Brian, Jake, Carolyn and Cwyn for providing several of the teas for this month and allowing the content to be what it is! I hope you like long-form content, because this tea of the month report is truly massive.
In the month of January 2015, the tea of the month was Lincang Pu’erh. During this month, I had Lincang Pu’erh at least once a day (unless totally unfeasible). I’ll still consume other teas, but the primary focus is understanding and building a palate for a specific type/genre/region of tea through repetition. This is the most personal blogging type style of post for TeaDB, and the goal is to stretch my palate as well as give recommendations to interested parties.

Pu’erh Budgeting. Buying Psychology, Hoarding & A Calculated Strategy
Due to its reputation as a tea that improves with age, pu’erh and the buying culture surrounding it are different than other teas. This makes sense. People are (rightfully) more comfortable buying larger quantities of pu’erh than dragonwell or green gaoshan. However, it is also a buying culture filled with hoarding and constant procrastination (over drinking the good stuff). Other tea types have a natural timer that regulates purchases. Drink it soon or it will get worst. This urgency and rate will vary tea to tea, but most teas are not stashed away in the same way pu’erh is. This article aims to take a step back and compare pu’erh purchases with both other teas and other consumable beverages. (more…)
