2 Tasting Notes
This is the best Shou Puerh I’ve had in a long time. I’m normally not a huge fan of Shou, but this one really stood out to me. Not only does it last forever, but the flavor is so clean and sweet that it makes you want to drink another pot after you’re done with the first. I only bought the 30g bag but I will be ordering more once I run out for sure.
I brewed 6g in a medium sized Gaiwan. The broth comes out extremely dark the first 2 or 3 steeps. The flavor overall is very earth and sweet, and I get notes of plums, almonds, rice sugar. The Qi of these tea is very relaxing and mellow and I can sleep shortly after drinking it. The tea is very viscous which reflects the tree age.
Flavors: Almond, Earth, Molasses, Plum
Preparation
Brewed 6g in a medium sized gaiwan, started with ~10 second steeps and moved up to about 2 to 3 minutes at the end. Got 12 steeps.
Overall this tea is fantastic. Almost no astringency or bitterness. Very sweet and smooth, and carries its flavor well into the later steeps. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a solid, clean black.
