This was a fun tea to develop. While we normally aim to be transparent in terms of our teas’ region and provenance in order to educate and help calibrate tastes, we’re keeping quite this time, so this tea will help with none of that. Instead, this is a tea to turn your brain off for and just enjoy.
Of course, you’re still free to analyse and see what traits you can pick out (is that a touch of Laomane I detect?).
With this Menghai area-heavy blend of multiple raw puers, our intention was to bring in all the aspect of what we feel an ideal tea should be. We started from a strong base, then went on balance out a bold body with interesting fragrances and add layers to the mix – all with the critical criteria of maintaining an affordable price. Having spent quite a few sessions getting to know this tea since it was pressed, we’re quite pleased the results.
Company description not available.
I haven’t had a properly focused session with this tea yet, despite drinking it on several occasions already.
Its aroma has a touch of fermented fruits, as well as notes of bog, zucchini flowers, and tobacco. The taste is grainy, bitter, floral, fruity, sweet, and also a bit sour. One can indeed say it’s a fairly well-balanced blend.
Flavors: Bitter, Floral, Flowers, Fruity, Grain, Oily, Sour, Sweet, Tobacco, Zucchini
Bitterleaf wrote that they were trying for balance so one could turn their brain off, and it sounds like they succeeded! You mentioned “fermented fruits”, and didn’t Bitterleaf suggest one might detect notes of ptomaine? No, I guess I read that wrong… ;-)
