Ali Shan High Mountain Beauty Summer 09 from Norbu Tea
93

Drank some of this for the first time in a while, and it was terrific, rich, spicy, sweet, delightful.

Can’t believe I never wrote this one up. It’s awfully good stuff. I’m not sure my taste buds are up to distinguishing the specialness of the jassid-bite effects, but it is terrific.

For those who are interested, I should point out that more is available, on end of harvest sale, vacuum sealed and still lovely, from Norbu.

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for 30 years, but only bought 2 brands of 2 different teas for most of that time. It took me almost 30 years to discover sencha, puerh, and green oolongs. Now I am making up for lost time.

I try to log most of my teas at least once, but then get lazy and stop recording, so # times logged should not be considered as a marker of how much a particular tea is drunk or enjoyed.
