Round 1 goes to Ugly Joe!
Ding! and there's the bell. Pretty Boy started round one with a full bodied brew, though his tea soup was a bit "thinner" than Ugly Joe's more luscious broth. Ugly Joe wins round one with complex, and almost "keemun-like" punch (pardon the pun).
Round 1 goes to Ugly Joe!
Ding! Round two is off to a great start with both combatants putting forth a thick black infusion. This time Pretty Boy pulls ahead with a divine "milky smooth" brew. Joe falls short with a distinct "dirt" taste that distracts from the infusion's redeeming qualities.
Round 2 goes to Pretty Boy!
This steel cage match-up went on for 3 more exciting rounds with each tuocha presenting great cups of dark puer tea. The referees (me and Shu Shu) decided to relax, stop taking notes, zone out and enjoy these luscious teas. In the fifth and last round Ugly Joe came through with a slightly darker color and a more pleasant flavor.
And the winner is... UGLY JOE! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! (...and the crowd goes wild!)

Wow, that post was a real knockout! I always love it when the underdog pulls ahead in a last-minute victory!
Well said my friend. Moral of the story: Never judge a tuo by it's wrapper. The colour of that soup was intense. Hope you walked away unscathed! Thanks for the entertaining post.
