309 Tasting Notes
I’m not sure what I think of this pu-erh. It’s flavor is so light it’s almost not there. I guess, I can say there’s none of that common fishiness to it.
I’ve had two sweepings so far and am not getting much actual flavor out of it. Will see what happens on the next couple.
The steam from this smells like hot honey.
The taste on your tongue isn’t that of honey, but that taste/scent on sipping fills up the top of your mouth and into your nose and holds on as the finish.
It’s a very soft, smooth tisane. I love this and will have to google it’s availability and if it has caffeine. If it doesn’t or it’s very low, I’m ordering a bunch as I have to keep my daily caffeine down.
Edited on further drinking the cup: I have to take back my huge wow on it. It was really tasty for the first few mouthfuls… But as I get about half-way through my cup it’s taking on a cloying edge that is making it hard for me to finish. Not good.
This is a lighter tasting tea in my opinion. It has a hay-like taste and… Not really sweetness, but sorta. It has a roundish mouth feel. It’s not refreshing feeling, it’s more hardy it seems. There is a long finish of the hay tone.
Over all, I like it but it’s not a favorite. I’ll keep it as a some variety in my whites, something to mix it up with.
