2025 Glider is a blend of high-end raw Puer teas from areas with less fame and underappreciated quality. This lack of fame helps keep the price in check, and the addition of aged raw Puer maocha from our vault helps to balance the freshness. Thick bodied sweetness, strong huigan (returning sweetness in the mouth) and stone fruit aromatics. Our pick for an old arbor experience that won’t break the bank.
Grandpa Style!
Did I pick up this raw pu’erh because oh how much I liked the wrapper artwork? Yes, yes, I did. Even if that was what initially, I still enjoyed steeping it up grandpa-style th drew me to it, it’s still be nice to sip on this afternoon though I have a feeling it would shine even better with different brewing parameters…
Even still, this was a pretty punchy tea with deeper fruity notes and a mostly pleasant bitter backend to the sip. Papaya came to mind, but a slightly more green and under ripe papaya that still has a bit of musky and resinous or “piney” quality to it alongside the creamy tropical sweetness. Juniper berries also kept popping up in my head as I sipped this one, too. It’s definitely very interesting. Sometimes, I really like sheng like this that have a balance of fruity and bitter, woody botanical notes, and it seems like there’s real promise to this one. But, I think it either needs a toouuucchhh more time to grow into itself or just a super different steeping style. Maybe both.
