Infusion #2
This infusion has a nice mellow gold color to it. It’s still sweet and has a very gentle sweet-wood flavor going on…quite crisp! Nice! I like the 2nd infusion better than the first!
Backlog:
OK, folks, I feel like I’m slowly getting caught up. I’m only like two months behind at this point. It’s happening … I’ll get caught up. No matter what Sil says! hahaha!
A gentle, earthy aroma to the dry leaf of this tea. Not an off-putting earthiness. It’s a subtle and even a sweet earthy kind of scent.
The flavor is gently earthy, sweet, woodsy … with even … a slight “wild” sort of taste to it. Notes of fruit. A pleasant, mellow Sheng.

Quite smooth. Nice aroma. Notes of fruit-like sweetness and wood. This is a surprisingly calming tea. Lasting, pleasant throat.
Update: I’m about thirteen or so infusions in… does this tea ever end? Wow…
Slight side note: I just want all my sheng to age about 40-50 years… like…. right now. Gosh, that would be heavenly.
I know right?! I want to grow really old just to keep drinking more tea. lol
JC, lets hope when we grow really old we won’t forget to drink it:-)
LOL! ‘why are there disc shaped compost piles all over my house?’
I prefer the grass Frisbee description.
Funny note: Just an hour ago, my SO asked me if we could use pu-erh as Frisbees… :-/
Hah that is funny! I told my bestie that they could double as birds nests if needed be. At least it helps me justify my cupboard. LOL!
Lol. Well, in all fairness I have bought some Puerh that would work best as a frisbee than tea :P
Yeah got some of that too.
I often find myself liking the later infusions of pu’erh much better than the first… much more complexity, and usually a bit more subtle. I have a fondness for the “Ancient Arbor” teas, you just seem to be able to taste the rich life the trees have lived. :)
A friend told me the Lao Lin Cang tea factory is no longer producing, which would be a real shame. They made some really good teas!
Oh…bummer if that is the case – thanks for the note tho! LOVE hearing about others thoughts and experiences :)
