74 Tasting Notes
First time having liu bao. Phenomenal taste and energy. Sometimes teas taste chocolatey. This one goes beyond that and has such a deep, dark, musty, chocolatey energy that quickly engulfs the body and extremities. It invigorates. Not complex but certainly unique and powerful.
Preparation
Haaaaaaaaay.
My reviews on this site are generally supposed to be mindful reflections of my tea sessions, or what I remember of them weeks later. I would not consider myself particularly discerning of tasting notes and the like. When I feel like it, I’ll try to jot down the specifics. Other times, I’ll simply write hay and call it a day.
Edit: Oh, well, actually, darn, I do have something else to say: I enjoyed the Simpsons reference on the wrapper.
Preparation
June w2t club. Did you know I haven’t tried grandpa style brewing until now? Was excited to try something from my first tea subscription and was caught without my teaware. Well I enjoyed it. Real barny. Bit smoky too. Ya know, I have a very specific scene in mind with this tea. Hot summer evening, barnyard, animals laying about, active campfire nearby. Rainstorm plows through suddenly, animals get wet, fire extinguished, and it’s coooool. Anyhow, we’ll see how it’s like next time with gong fu brewing, especially once it settles some more.
