This tea served as a backdrop to some fairly deep emotional experiences today, but I wouldn’t necessarily attribute it to the energy of the tea itself. I just want to mention that the tea, as any good pu-erh should, has the capacity for being a meaningful companion :)

Otherwise, I liked its cooling, numbing and voluminous mouthfeel, as well as the sweet, floral aftertaste with hints of peanuts. The taste is somewhat bitter with interesting salty and umami notes, as well as mild sour touch. There are flavours of spices, wood, butter, vanilla, thyme, seaweed, and honey for instance. The aromas are not particularly distinctive, the leaves smell sweet and mineral to me. One intriguing scent I noted is that of bubblegums.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
