“Dark” florals. Maybe like a violet that is somewhat past its prime? A little bit of mulch, and some grape-i-ness. All these qualities are very subtle, but the tea itself is strong with pretty thick body. It is smooth. Sometimes leathery and sometimes not, sometimes briny and sometimes not. Cotton candy sweetness at times. This tea is kind of a wizard, putting on different faces. It seems to me this is a pretty great example of a young raw pu-erh with complexity but also a sophisticated smoothness that can be enjoyed immensely in its younger stages. Not that I know all that much about raw pu-erh yet.

I love tea. Mainly Chinese teas, such as Keemuns, Shui Xian oolongs when I can find/afford them, Yunnan golden buds, and delicate spring greens. With so many options, though, I keep trying new teas.
