Yesterday I had a fresh white tea (picked this spring) and man did I ever feel amazing afterwards.<br /><br />I had a 2003 meng hai pu'erh this morning, and I didn't get much of a feeling out of it. Like you said, it starts strong, wavers a bit, and then comes back stronger. I think this pu'erh is probably in the wavering stage.<br /><br />-FoxRuqyo Highsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210517193033102532noreply@blogger.com
