Decided to start the morning off with some Poundcake while working on a midterm. Starts off floral and fruity. Nice thickness and smooth to start, with some astringency kicking in later. I steep this one out over two days and I really get more floral, herbaceous notes out of it than anything. The bitterness and astringency are not at all off-putting or unpleasant for me, personally. All in all, this was a nice, easy drinking experience, but I felt like I was left wanting more out of it. I’ll be giving it another chance, for sure!
Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Floral, Fruity, Herbaceous, Vegetal
I’m also going to revisit this one after a year or so. I’ve had good results with keeping yanchas in small ceramic jars to age. Usually becoming thicker, smoother, and more tasty.
