Intergalactic Tea

The sweet potato thing, subtle yet profound. This is a beautiful tea that gets a dozen amazing steeps without tasting the slightest bit weak. Rich, dark and mellow.

Very pleasant creamy vanilla puerh tea!

Favourite place to buy ripe pu erh tea!

I also found this to be a reasonable price.

The most unabashedly fruit-forward shou I think I've ever had. Juicy with a clean and floral finish. Got a free coin in an order and brewed half of it gong fu style in an 80ml clay pot. Will almost certainly come back for more. What a joy.

Very drinkable, great experience i enjoyed them all but that one but im sure its just my taste buds , I think ill be doing this again soon

Starts with the flavor of a rich milk chocolate bar, then flavors of pine and stony minerality grow with each steep.

Dynamic and engaging when brewed gong fu. The chocolatey shou dominates in the first steeps, and with each steep the chen pi grows bolder and the cocoa recedes, melding with notes of green cardamom pod, orange oil, and pine needles.

Malty and smooth, with flavors of chocolate-covered cherry, plum, raw almonds, and cocoa. Raisinet candies and a hint of sweet tobacco. A nice blend of hong + shou.

Intense, rich, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced between bitter and sweet. Flavors of dark chocolate-covered almonds, coconut cream, crispy sugar cones and Belgian waffles, and a lingering cocoa finish.

Shu puer is always very hit or miss for me and this one is an absolute hit. No aged funk or off flavors and very clear liquid with no cloudiness and a beautiful deep ruby color. A lot of natural sweetness and a very mouth coating full bodied texture. I get hints of chocolate, caramel, and baked goods in the flavor. This is well worth the price and I will be buying a lot more soon.

(Fancy version)

Steeped Western style. This was a very smooth and creamy hongcha with hay, bread, and earth notes. Lots of wood here, and it has a nice depth of flavor that makes me picture fancier woods like mahogany and teak. Quite rich and thick on the tongue. I found that I actually preferred the regular version, as it was more fruity and I liked the slight sharpness that it had. Both were good though!

I was really stoked to give this shu a try and was really impressed. Rich and complex chocolaty, earth, and caramel flavors. Definitely excited to try more teas from Intergalactic tea and will definitely order again.

(Regular version)

Steeped Western style. A lovely mix of bread, wood, and a bit of malt with white-tea-like creamy hay and autumn leafy notes. Definitely got a touch of fruitiness (to me it was closer to plum skin than grape), along with a base of dark unsweetened cocoa powder and mineral earth. There's a nice intensity to it, not quite bitterness but approaching that. A nice, bracing one for the morning!

Highly recommended. The description is spot on. Honeydew melon, sweet. Smells great.
