Matu drank Yue Guang Bai by Yunnan Sourcing

485 tasting notes

Received a nice little sample of this from a teafriend when I visited him. This YGB seemed to be a little bit more oxidized than some of the others I’ve tried. It was mostly malty and honey sweet, with a little bit of fruity sharpness on a few steeps – like raisins or dates. Soft mouthfeel. Towards the end of the session, it started to get a little bit woody – like a really dry woodiness. Yue Guang Bai is good, but I don’t think I like it enough to really buy large quantities of it or anything.

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
