Alistair of What-cha fame certainly gets his hands on some interesting teas, and this is one of them.
Just as I did last year, when we were at our Summer house on the Baltic I bought a 500 gram packet of Sevan’s Orange Pekoe grade Ceylon tea in the local supermarket.
Dateline: a small cottage on the Baltic sea – cliff in front, pine forest behind. Mid July.
It was one of those oven hot July days that slowly unfold out of a truly faultless blue sky.
It’s that time of the year once more, when we flee all the aggravation of summer in the big city and set up camp at our summer house by the Baltic, where our only hard wired connection to the grid is a 15 mm diameter water pipe.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way before we go any further – this tea is never, ever, going to win any kind of award.
These leaves arrived on my tea table in the form of a generously sized 10 gram sample that was kindly included in a recent purchase I made over at the very highly recommended What-cha web shop.
This is one of Canton Tea Co.’s range of very nice 100 gram Single Mountain sheng Pu-erh mini-beengs.
I received this tea in the form of a generously sized 10 gram sample that was included in a recent order I placed with What-cha.
