This tea is very unique - it's a 2005 Shu Pu-Erh tea, but with a twist! It tastes like fried Shrimp, and don't get me wrong - it's delicious.

Where do you get your pu er tea? Is it in a cake?

This one is not in a cake - this particular pu-erh literally comes from the bottom of the pan and is crystalized. But yes, I do get my pu-erh in cakes most of the time. When it comes to sources - I'm from Poland and it really depends. Local sources, yuunan sourcing, some Czech sources like Rising Tea.
