We spoke with the vendor and they've decided to extend this drop to give more people the chance to join.
This will impact the ship date pushing it back by four days.
Thanks for supporting this drop!

Hi,
could you kindly clarify if this is a raw pu'er or a ripened pu'er? Also what is the mandarin name of the "estate"/factory that produces this pu'er
Many Thanks

Wow this is ridiculously marked up... I bet we can get something better in slab form at chinatown for at most half as much... We all know the best tea is off the beaten path and at your local chinese herbalist.

LeukybearHi Leukybear,
I appreciate you taking the time to post. Sadly (speaking as someone from rural Vermont who now lives in SF chinatown) it's worth considering chinatown tea shops are inaccessible to lots of people so companies like Misty Peak offer valuable curation.
If you have any particular shops or teas in mind let me know and I'll make a poll to gauge interest within the Massdrop community.
Every new community on Massdrop brings new challenges for us to tackle and your feedback is really helpful. Let me know if any particular teas come to mind and we'll go from there : )

ITS NOT EVEN AGED

You can't be serious with this, right? What is Misty Peak? Seriously.... Autumn tea? LOL....
Such tea is best to be kept til aged. If it is made in 2013, it is best to leave it for natural fermentation for at least 10-15 years in an odourless environment and not too humid (for fear of molds). Of course, you you can drink it anytime from now but please do not drink it on empty stomach!
Details Misty Peak <<< ??? Aged green tea <<< difficult to verify, should be "Aged unfermented tea" Each brew can be re-steeped up to 20 times <<< will taste like plain water after 8-10 rounds 1 cake produces over 1,000 pots of tea <<< Do you maths! 200g/7g = 28 usage, each usage up to 10 brew. 7 oz (200 g) <<< small cake, standard tea cake is 357g
Steeping Break off (0.1 - 0.24 oz) 3 - 7 g of the cake <<< right! Rinse leaves with warm water <<< use hot water, brew 30s to rinse, do it once or twice! Steep leaves in 180 degree water for 3 minutes <<< hot water, slightly shy from boiling points. It gonna be too bitter to brew for 3 mins. If you brew for 3 mins, I reckon you could go for few rounds brewing. Best is about 30 seconds and subsequently slightly more time after 5-6 brew as it starts to get lighter.

Hi Gl1TCH3D,
I was assuming most people would use a gaiwan with this pu'er, only a couple oz per pot.
I'd guess Misty Peak is also using a gaiwan (thus their higher number than you'd get from a full tea pot) but listing "pot" as an accessible unit of measure rather than a literal metric.
You bring up a good point though, we'll work with the vendors to get more specific with the metrics as we can in the future.

WillI think most of the time people list it in g/ml to use. Not that I care too much since I usually buy tea from back alley dealers :P
But 20 steeps just doesn't seem realistic at all. I have two nice Pu'er cakes and both of them lose their taste after about 5-6 steeps even if you steep if for 5+ minutes after.
