Intergalactic Tea

Shu puer is always very hit or miss for me and this one is an absolute hit. No aged funk or off flavors and very clear liquid with no cloudiness and a beautiful deep ruby color. A lot of natural sweetness and a very mouth coating full bodied texture. I get hints of chocolate, caramel, and baked goods in the flavor. This is well worth the price and I will be buying a lot more soon.

(Fancy version)

Steeped Western style. This was a very smooth and creamy hongcha with hay, bread, and earth notes. Lots of wood here, and it has a nice depth of flavor that makes me picture fancier woods like mahogany and teak. Quite rich and thick on the tongue. I found that I actually preferred the regular version, as it was more fruity and I liked the slight sharpness that it had. Both were good though!

(Regular version)

Steeped Western style. A lovely mix of bread, wood, and a bit of malt with white-tea-like creamy hay and autumn leafy notes. Definitely got a touch of fruitiness (to me it was closer to plum skin than grape), along with a base of dark unsweetened cocoa powder and mineral earth. There's a nice intensity to it, not quite bitterness but approaching that. A nice, bracing one for the morning!

Highly recommended. The description is spot on. Honeydew melon, sweet. Smells great.

the notes from this one are strong. Smells like a lemonade with a bit of pine earthiness. The honey sweetness and kind of bread like flavors are quite present too. All the flavor is pretty upfront and would be a good one for new people to get into tea. It really does remind me of a lemonade. Very unique, very good.

For the cost and taste this deal is hard to beat. A mixed bag of unknown Shu samples that so far ( 6 samples in ) haven't let me down. Will absolutely buy again.

Malty and citrine in a sort of “chocolate orange” twist. I would advise drinkers be careful not to scorch it with the water, but gradually raise the temp through steeps to open it. There are some teas I’ve see that work with, but the Shai Hong transfuses some bitterness if overheated too quickly. A solid tea to throw into your rotation, if youre partial to mini cakes like me :3

I really like this one! You do predominantly taste the Shai, but there's enough of the Shu there to give you some of the nice dark, earthy flavors to know you aren't just drinking black tea. Very sweet, smooth, rich, fruity and chocolatey, delicious!!

This is one of my favorites! I might be crazy, but this one reminds me of caramel apple cider. It has these amazing notes of caramel, fruit, honey, and it's smooth and easy drinking. I also love the individual packaging, because it makes it easy to take it to work with me.

Super yummy tea!! I was intrigued by the combination of black and white tea, but this blend really is the best of both worlds!

Notes of honey, caramel, and fruit from the black tea, and a nice herbal, woodsy, sweetness from the white tea. And for this price, this one goes into my daily drinking rotation!

Hooked :D

The best online tea store!

Bruno…I would have called Bruno “The Smooth Operator’!!…smooth as silk going doing. A pleasure to sip. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed sipping multiple infusions of this 2024 Wild Built. It gets 5 Stars in my book!!

My very first sheng puer. I did steep it too long and got a little too bitter. But after short steeping, it was much more pleasant and delicious!
