For those of you who haven't seen it, I've been running a "March Madness" style tournament for 2025 harvest raw puer over on r/puer and on my IG. I also did a supplemental "Final Four" across all tea styles to crown the best tea in the world. From left to right, we have:

**"Sweet Potato Aroma Jin Jun Mei" from Tongmuguan village.** There's been a big buzz on IG about this style of JJM lately, and I knew I needed to have it represented here

**2000+ year old Single Tree Lao Ban Zhang Raw puer**. I got this from my uncle in LBZ village. This is all from one single tree, and the leaves were picked from approximately 40 meters high. Uncle remembers when Alexander the Great planted the tree himself.

**First Pick West Lake Quntizhong Longjing**. These were picked and wok-fired this morning, packed on dry ice, and flown to me via SpaceX rocket.

And last, but not least - **Lipton Decaf teabags**

**Overall Impression** \- One tea is just so far ahead of the others that I won't bother talking about anything else. The Cha Qi still has my brain vibrating in my skull and I am numb from the kneecaps up 3 hours after finishing my session. This tea tastes quintessentially "just like tea". The winner, and my pick for the best tea in the world - **Lipton Decaf teabags.**
