Matu drank Jingmai Mountain Wild Arbor Black tea of Spring 2017 by Yunnan Sourcing

485 tasting notes

I got a little sample of this tea from a friend recently. I think the 2015 version of this tea was one of the first loose leaf teas I ordered from anywhere besides Teavana. Even though I brewed this with 6g:100mL, I found the flavor to be a bit light. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I thought it was of note.

The flavor was sweet and malty from the beginning, but it also had a bit of a yammy note going. I enjoyed my session with this tea, but I didn’t find it particularly interesting or anything. A good and simple one to drink when you can’t focus too hard on your tea.

Flavors: Malt, Sweet, Yams

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 15 sec 6 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
