KittyLovesTea drank Fengqing Ripened Tribute Pu-erh Cake Tea 2007 by Teavivre

1379 tasting notes

I’m watching a programme called ‘Wild China’ and this episode is showing Yunnan and the surrounding areas. If you want you’re ‘cute for the day’ then take a look at the super cute Yunnan Snub Nosed Monkey

The view of Yunnan is amazing and it’s given me a thirst for Yunnan tea, this Puerh is the first one I find from my Teavivre sample drawer. The Puerh is a lovely blend of autumn brown colours and it has a burnt wood scent.

It tastes wooden and earthy with a hint of smoke and soil. Not astringent nor too strong but at a very nice balance. Also leaves a light musky after taste. A hint of dampness in the taste (I mean in a damp soil kind of flavour) but it’s very light, more mellow than the last few Puerh I had. For me that is a positive trait, I’m not often in the mood for ripe Puerh as it tends to be too thick but this is a wonderful mellow, everyday tea.

Also to note – there is no fishiness with this Puerh nor any odd/chemical/overwhelming tones.

Simply perfect for my afternoon tea. I shall carry on with my cross stitch and relax into the late evening :)

Bio

I’m 34 years old from Leicester, England named Kayleigh.

I started off many years ago drinking herbal and fruit teas which over time peaked my interest in trying new types. Eventually I began to import and sample many different teas and cultures which I still do today. My life goal is to try as many teas and ways of having tea as possible.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I also enjoy watching Japanese Anime and horror films.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

A short list to help swapping with me easier though honestly I am not fussy and am willing to try anything. Plus the notes below are usually, sometimes I love a tea that has an ingredient I tend to dislike and other times I hate a tea that I thought I would love.

Likes: Any fruit but especially melon and orange, vanilla, all tea types (black, green, white etc), nuts (any), flowers, ginger, chai.

Dislikes: Licorice, aniseed, clove, eucalyptus, lavender.

My rating system
I have my own way of rating teas that makes each one personal. I have different categories, I rate each tea depending on what it is made of. For example: I rate green teas in a different way to black teas or herbal teas. So black, white, green, Pu Erh, Rooibos, Oolong, blends and tisanes all have their own rating system. That way I can compare them with other teas of the same or similar type before for an adequate rating. And when I do give top marks which is very rare I am actually saying that I would love to drink that tea all day, every day if possible. It’s a tea that I would never turn down or not be in the mood for. So while I agree that no tea is 100% perfect (as nothing is) I am saying that it’s as close as it comes to it. After all, in my book the perfect teas (or close to perfect anyway) are ones that I could drink all the time. That is why you will find a high quality black or Oolong will not have as high a score as a cheap flavoured blend, they are simply not being compared in the same category.
