Time to open some Shu Pu .. two cakes

With all of our extended family visiting we are consuming Pu-Er at a prodigious rate. Jean self promoted to “Tea Boss” took auntie under tutelage. First lesson: “Best not to use Pa Pa’s teabowl.

Both cakes from Menghai in Xishuanghanna, Yunnan province, China. The cake on the left was produced in 2002. The right 2008, we are starting to see changes in food safety markings and holographic security tags to secure outer wrappers.tpuer1tpuer2
