    Wonderful (as usual) I'm really enjoying my widening experience with Pu-erh teas with Mansa!

    This tea was a gift to a friend that I also was able to enjoy. Found it smoky and toasty with a sweet undertone. Big flavor!! Loved it.

    Lovely afternoon tea session

    This pu'erh is lovely - it has a fresh feeling sweetness to it, with aromatic floral honeysuckle and orange blossom notes accompanied by the taste of lightly roasted nuts tossed in a light drizzle of honey, with a fruitier undertone more like an overripe nectarine - but soft. Mmm!!

    New favorite puer!

    I love this tea! I steep it throughout the day and it is very tasteful with each steeping. The tea gets sweeter after each steep, which creates a very interesting experience. I also have great experiences with the owner of the company - ashley. Ashley gives great tea tastings!
