tperez drank 2014 Yunnan Sourcing Autumn Jiu Tai Po Village Raw Pu-erh tea cake by Yunnan Sourcing

318 tasting notes

A thick and bittersweet young sheng. Sweet honey, grain, apricot, mushroom, and hazelnut notes with a bitterness a bit like hops. Warm, sweet aroma lasts in the cup and in the mouth. Mouthfeel is thick and lubricating/oily. Qi is pleasant and noticeable for me. This is one of Scott’s lower priced cakes and in my opinion an exceptional deal!

Flavors: Apricot, Grain, Honey, Hops, Mushrooms, Nuts

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 90 ML

Bio

Tea addict since around 2011.

My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.

Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.

Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.

I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.
