Here's my favorite tea...
I've been exploring the world of tea for about 5 years and have tried just over 200 teas of nearly all tea types. There is one tea that I've consistently gone back to since I have discovered it. It is a sheng puer from Yunnan Sourcing. I have an interesting relationship with this tea. I have never thought of this tea as wildly complex or as an experience. Instead, it has balance with just the right amount of intrigue to work as a daily drinker. I'm always happy to drink this tea.

Tasting notes: Thick texture; mineral, wood, and sweet body; citrus and herb high notes; a bitter-to-sweet aftertaste transformation.
I don't know, I usually get 4-5 steeps out of them. Though they do end up closer to a nuttier oolong by the end, they taste distinctly dan cong for the first three.
Agreed. I wish those first 3 steeps kept going. But I do still enjoy the journey.
