Today I am having ripe pu-erh by Pinky Out that I pulled out from the Discovery TTB. Despite being sick, I can tell the tea has a pungent smell that’s very pleasant. It seems that it requires longer steeps than what I am used to with shou. It has a very good body though. Once I tasted it, I felt that there is something missing in the higher notes, which are there but give way very quickly to the earthy/savoury ones. Therefore, after two washes and two infusions, I added some orange blossoms, which complemented the tea very well. I have a feeling it works better than chenpi which is usually used, at least for this particular tea.
