Togo drank Jing Gu Yang Ta Yunnan Bai Mu Dan White Tea * Spring 2017 by Yunnan Sourcing

947 tasting notes

This time I can smell a strong dried apricot note in the dry leaf, it reminds me of apricot danish pastry a bit too. Generally, I found the smell somewhat more fruity, with some peach and nectarine hints too. Some new notes I got from the wet leaf smell include tobacco and strangely enough quite strongly also the smoke generated by smoke machines at concerts and such. That took me by surprise somewhat. Generally it’s quite a sweet smell compared to the taste, which also has some sweetness (this time I also noticed bubblegum in at least one of the infusions), but verges on the savoury side overall I would say.

Flavors: Apricot, Peach, Smoke, Stonefruit, Tobacco, Wet Rocks

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 45 sec 4 g 4 OZ / 120 ML

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
