Pu-erh Tea by Cloudwalker Teas
At once clean, crisp, sharp and slightly biting due to it’s relative youth
A very fine quality, partially aged sheng pu erh tea. This is a high energy tea. It is not yet fully mature but it still exhibits a very fine, if green imperial nature. It is at once clean, crisp, sharp and slightly biting due to it’s relative youth. Such is the way with un-cooked, ‘live’ pu erh (sheng), it remains a constantly growing and evolving tea which can be enjoyed now and will only continue to improve with age. It is a fine introduction to the qualities and characteristics common to high level sheng pu erh teas. It is also an excellent introduction to cake pu erh teas for those who have not tried them before.
As it stands, this one is a tweener and will undoubtedly improve with more age. The flavors are still quite sharp and are only beginning to develop. I did use this tea as an opportunity to introduce a friend to puer because it displays properties of both young and aged sheng.
I would definitely recommended this cake to someone who will continue to properly age it. The price is right and the flavors are there.
