89 tasting notes

My first green puer cake…excited and yet nervous about messing any of the prep up.

Read through the website, did my first 15 sec steep, so this is the second infusion of 20 sec steep. Its very light, some faint barnyard notes and vegetal notes.

Third infusion is definitely getting more intense in colour, did this for 30 sec steep. Flavour is more potent, also beginning to feel some dryness at the end.

Out of curiosity I tasted the first infusion that you’re supposed to discard…and yep, its definitely not meant to be drank at all :P Very barnyard-y and nothing else.

Remaining infusions to be continued separately…

Flavors: Barnyard, Green, Vegetal

Bio

finding myself in hot water again and again…

I grew up in a tea drinking culture, but my parents were seriously hung up on jasmine tea and oolong tea, so I never really had much exposure to other teas. My horizons expanded when I moved to Japan and discovered genmaicha (roasted rice tea aka popcorn tea). after that, I discovered black teas, red teas, and flavoured teas, how different teas could be by the region, processing methods, water used.

Now I can’t get enough of it!

I experiment with different teas, blending them sometimes to see what the outcome would be. I find my tastes to be quite diverse, but run away from the more floral side of things. Tie Kwan Yin is probably the only one that most people seem to enjoy, that I don’t. Otherwise I am game for most teas. Fruity? love it. Smoky? Mmm. Earthy? bring it on! Light and vegetal? keep pouring!
