From Bitterleaf Teas

One of our favourite white teas has been resurrected for a 3rd time, and the 2020 iteration of this Shoumei grade white tea may be the best yet.

This tea is quite fragrant and floral, as with previous years, but also exhibits a more obvious fruity quality and honey-sweetness this time around. The texture is thick and rolls nicely in the mouth.

As this tea is made from a shoumei-like grade (slightly more tips than your average shoumei) of Yunnan big leaf material that is typically used for puer, it can similarly withstand multiple infusions without losing flavour. We recommend boiling this tea in the later steeps to get the every last bit of tasty sweet nectar out of this tea.

Still love this tea – it gives long evolving sessions with lots of complexity, early on it is more bitter with an expansive and fragrant aftertaste, later just really sweet with a hint of sourness.

The dry leaf aroma reminds me of honey, tangerine, pitahaya, corn, and hay. From the wet leaves I picked up also hints of mushrooms and vanilla.

The taste is sweet and wood with a dry grass quality to it early on. Steeps 3 to 6 have quite decent woody and gin-like bitternes as well as flavours of bell peppers, autumn leaf pile, allspice, bourbon, and acorn.

The aftertaste then brings further notes such as sugar, moss, pinecone, chicken meat, and cinnamon to name a few.
