Burpin’ Ole’ Book
Finally learned how to store and brew this guy which makes me a happy camper because I took a risk based on the price going up and bought more. I still wrestle with perfect steep time to acheive white whale nirvana which is a slightly tannic slightly fruity thicker smooth luscious cup. If I over brew it is a bit astringent and fruitiness is drowned by old book taste. Under brew and it’s a boring thin bland brew. I still sporadically smell and burp the old book taste hours later which is fun.
At the current price I like the yangpinhao better but I am spoiled to say this will be my daily drinker.
Flavors: Berry, Dark Wood, Red Wine, Tannin
Keep airing it.
I actually like the taste but I do have a few bricks broken up in a jar in my ghetto pumidor for ease of use.
Related question though, I have been airing out samples but fear they may lose some oftheir ccomplexity due them basically being the equivalent of loose maocha is this just paranoia
