Mei Dong Ren Long. Fang Hong Pong Day. Oh, and Podcast 11.

Podcast 11: Da Hong Pu-erh and Pearl Jam





What: Imperial Pearl Oolong (THE Mountain Tea Co.)
How much: $3.80 per oz
What kind: Black Oolong
Taste: Like a very light Keemun poured over some dank ass Creme Brule
Repeat Drinkability: 6/10 (Ever had a Coffee Sour?)
Manliness: 7/10 (Like chugging motor oil after a couple steeps)




What: Formosa Oriental Beauty Cake (THE Mountain Tea Co.)
How much: $5.26 per oz
What kind: Oolong
Taste: More earthy, less woody than Da Hong Pao. This is the tea equivalent of brandy (smooth).
Repeat Drinkability: 8/10 (Dusty from it being in cake form, but extremely Pao-like. A+++, would drink again)
Manliness: 9/10 (Sean Connery might ask this tea for tips)
