drank 2012 Bulang Gushu "Ancient Tree" Shou / Ripe Puerh by Crimson Lotus Tea
301 tasting notes

Revisiting this one. A very engaging ripe tea which never fails. High quality leaf, flavorful tea soup and strong endurance allow me stretch out the tea session over a 2-3 day period. Purchased loose leaf and I would love the opportunity to pick up more.

I thought this tasted sour when I first got it. Revisited it after about 6 months, now it tastes quite good. Needs airing probably.

Cwyn – I agree with you. I was not very excited when I first received it which is why I have only a small bag with little remaining in it. Now I really enjoy it and I wish that I had more.

I have the 2008 and 2012 in sample sizes and just put both together into a porous clay storage jar for the airing.

Bio

I drink mostly puer and sometimes what we as Westerners think of as black tea.

I no longer assign numerical ratings to teas because our enjoyment of tea is very subjective. Reactions to a particular tea vary from person to person and within the same person across different tasting sessions.

My tea notes are simply comments reflecting my impression at that specific point in time. They are helpful to me and if they happen to be useful to someone else that is good.

For me, tea is magical with its ability to transform by bringing one back to center and inspiring both peace and contentment.
Reformed coffee drinker. Switched to tea as part of my goal to work on living a healthier, more balanced life — haven’t looked back since.
