First ripe purchased in almost a year! https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ4pBGLgrBG/?taken-by=liquidproust
When you see quality leaf being fermented without the use of shovels and feet, it’s got to be worth trying right?
Well today I went into this tea after it settled for a few days and I really enjoyed it’s subtle notes. The rinse was clear and by time I hit the first brew, there was a nice ruby red tint to the liquid. Brewing this was really fun because it wasn’t harsh on the mouth. From my experiences, this will become a very lovely tea for someone with my sort of taste buds in just a few more years. As someone who enjoys aged sheng, this will approach that taste a lot better than other shou have that I have tried.
Really looking forward to trying this once a month to track it’s ability to drink on cold nights and with certain foods!
I’ve never been big on shou but I got a sample of this and was quite impressed. I immediately got hungry for Peking duck.
I have this one too… just broke it up and put it in a crock
