We commissioned a custom piece of artwork for this cake from \u003ca title=\"Seattle Artist Stasia Burrington\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stasiaburrington.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSeattle artist Stasia Burrington\u003c\/a\u003e.

The artwork and this tea work perfectly together. This puerh is a tea garden daydream. Cute little black piglets are a common sight in the old growth tea gardens in Yunnan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe put a lot of time into this blend. We had a very specific experience we were hoping to create. This tea has a very distinct, creative, and inspirational energy for us when we drink it. The aromas are floral, grass, hay, and honeysuckle with a hint of aged sheng. This tea has sugarcane sweetness from the beginning. There is a medium to thick body that persists across many steepings. There is a long aftertaste that is reminiscent of jasmine. There is astringency but not bitterness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea energy hits after the second steep. It is very heady and direct. This is probably one of our stronger teas energy-wise. Brew this tea strong, sit back, close your eyes and imagine you are in an old growth tea forest soaking in a giant teapot as adorable little piggies dart in and around chasing each other through the trees. The breeze cools you down as it whispers through the leaves. It's a good day!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWood Fired\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand Rolled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirect Sun Dried\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYoung \/ Old Tree Blend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eStone Compressed\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200g Cake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtist interview and tea session\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dysM1hoFBk8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling.
