Mei Leaf

Used it just in my own tea blend with Iron Goddess and some River High

Perfect mix of this white tea “lemonade” taste and typical raw Pu Erh taste, that I love so much
Marzipan, White tea “lemonade”, honey notes

Smell: Thyme, greek summer night, greek olive trea and farm, thyme
Texture: Oily Taste: thyme, greek summer air, greek food Recommend
Cold brew recommend

A little tastier and smoother than Empress Oolong but similar (obviously Wuyi)
Got that nice peachy fruity after taste but first you get a vanilla, cigar punch
Definetly some tinggling on the tongue

I really like purple varieties and good Shou Pu erh
So this cake is exactly what I need its Juicy, got that creamy purple taste, mixed with the typical shou
And the price makes it a no brainer

smell: yeast, sweet, warm bread, almonds taste: almonds, nutty, warm baked goods texture: oily
So much better than Baked goods (not my type of tea)

Woody, forest in the morning changes to a slight sweetness after a few steeps
Nothing too fancy but quiet alright and it really helps your stomach after a big meal

Charcoal, vanilla roasted beans, vanilla cigar smell, fruity taste of figs

Absolutely amazing, smells like honey/orchid and sweet flowers
Tastes even sweeter and through the infusions gets a floral touch but never loses the sweetnes
Praise to the Eastern Beauty!

Creamy Creamy Creamy Thinking on some Cottage Cheese (without the cheesyness though)
Got some good sweetness too and definetly light aftertaste

Ohhhh my, oily but refreshing texture, vanilla, plum/figs, fruity and a bit of mineralitiy (the cooked pu erh)
Definetly my favourite blend and Im not a big cooked pu erh fan though

Smell and taste identical with my basement,
minerals all over, wet stones/cave
Sometimes you have to learn and get used to some tastes, and this one is definetly in this category
Awesome tea

Fruity Oily texture like a Oolong tea but clean fresh finish
Sweet cherry smell but not too “fancy”
Sweet cherry and fruity taste fruitier than Ruby Black

easy drinking Gaba, sweet taste, croissant, fresh baked bread, vanilla coffee, nougat
My favourite Gaba of all Mei Leaf Gabas

Now that Im finally into Shou Pu Erh I really love this one
Chocolate, leather earth (but not too much), good mineralitiy
Sometimes you got to “learn” a new taste and afterwards you start to love it

Dry leaf smells of fresh leather, bourbon casks, and the tiniest hint of peppery spice. Wet aroma is worn leather, aged parchment and dark, smoky bourbon. First infusions have wet cave mineralogy, charred oak that’s been soaked in whisky and leather. Later steeping get smoother and sweeter, like silk and pine honey. Texture is thick, full and like velvet going down. Gives a comforting mood boost and calms indigestion. Definitely a shou worth drinking!

Dry leaf has creamy coconut notes over charcoal and pine. Wet aroma is the same but more intense. First few infusions, roasted coconut and burnt pine notes with a hint of fruity acidity. Later steeps have more sweetness like smarties candies. Texture is thick and full. Mouthfeel has a eucalyptus cooling effect and the tea gives a pleasant body buzz. Great for evenings! Definitely worth trying!

Perfectly sitting on the brink between aged and raw.
Never before I have had tea that was able to mix fresh and aged flavors so perfectly dancing between them and pulling in different directions between infusions.
Is that best sheng I had ? I don’t know about that but it’s one that I cherish most.
Definitely worth trying if you will be able to get some as it’s no longer in stock and due to unique nature will not be back.

Quince compote, charred tomatoes, floral magnolia finish, pleasant astringency turning to sweetness.

Pumpkin pie spices. Slightly nutty with some dried fruit sweetness. Warm and toasty.

Dominant flavor of cacao nibs, some toastiness – salted roasted nuts and dark, almost burnt, caramel. Hint of rose lokum and dark fruit, maybe prunes.

More of a nut milk taste and not cream. Toasty malty notes take center stage with supporting floral notes. Not exactly what I expected but good nonetheless.
