2026 "Altered State" Sheng / Raw Puerh Tea - 200g Cake
$ 12.99 $ 99.99
This tea is the essence of Cha Qi / Tea Energy. If you have ever been curious about what Cha Qi look no further, this is the tea for you. If you already know what Cha QI is then this tea is for you.
This is our third time blending this mind bending tea. The first two pressings have been quite popular.
This tea lays down heavy hitting Cha Qi and doesn't let up. This tea is a creative blend of all of the most intense, hardest hitting, mental lobotomizing, consciousness opening, face melting sheng puerh we could find this year. These cakes are hand blended and sure to impress.

Nailing down an exact flavor and aroma profile has proved elusive. This tea has many faces. It has a base in the fruity / floral sphere but it will surprise you. There are times when this tea gives strong recollections of our coffee days brewing a pour-overs of small batch roasted Colombian Geisha beans. It provides a very delightful session.
Brewing Instructions
Use 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling. Rinse once for a few seconds. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.
