The first time I tasted this tea
I felt like I cheated the system
It was only a few months old,
time had barely touched it yet
Already delicious
Ancient-tree sheng
without the hype tax
—hype just in the cup—
Rarely seen in Europe
Your sample was broken from a
Yunnan Hype cake

VINYL vs CD
(BEYOND THE SAMPLE)
Some people love vinyl for
everything a CD leaves out
A sheng Pu'er cake has the same allure
The paper unfolding
The tea pick slipping
between the leaves
The wrapper closing
The fragrance lingering
in the empty pitcher
The sample let you hear the song
The cake let you own the record
BEYOND POETRY
The sample gave you
the tasting notes.
The poetry—fancy wording—
is yours to write.
BEYOND THE HYPE
You chose the mountain
beyond the hype and
nobody talks about.
Now you know where
the hype belongs:
In the mountain's name
In an inflated price
In the "green" labels
Just in the cup
