2009 TASTE OF JINGGU MOUNTAIN, RAW PU-ERH TEA CAKE

Pu-erh Tea by JAS eTea

This is a blended raw Pu-erh tea recipe from JK Tea Shop. They carefully select the finest bush and old tea tree Maocha from Jinggu to create this recipe. It possesses a sweet taste without any bitterness; soft liquid is very similiar to Yiwu’s taste. Like many other Jinggu region teas, as it ages, the tea Chaqi will become stronger and stronger and its taste will become thicker and thicker.

Strong mineral flavor on the first steep. I can’t really go into any further detail from there. The second steep was more earthy and slightly floral. However, the mineral flavor still lingered but not as strong as the first steep. Not my favorite but I think I will just need to work with this one a bit until I find its sweet spot.

Added Notes (Hubby): Earthy woody notes with a background mineral note. Mostly gets a strong hay flavor.
