From Liquid Proust Teas

This cake is a high end blend of bud heavy shou made from laobanzhang and banzhang.

It’s from 2020 and similar to the cookie monster, but it really does a number to you! Strong stuff in almost all aspects and something I’ve very glad to be able to share with you all.

I think shou is fine, but I am pretty well convinced after this last handful of dark-n-broodies from LP that I’m just not a huge fan. It’s probably time I content myself to think of it as a digestive/refresher/late-night chill buddy, which is fine.

Anyway, there is something vaguely floral in this one. The digested corpses of flowers past? Hehe. Who knows if I’d pick that up if I wasn’t comparison-sipping next to the LaoBanZhang loose (also from LP). Very smooth, no paper taste here.

Interesting to compare our tastes in puerh. Seems you prefer sheng, and dont mind a good hit of bitterness? I dont mind some bitterness, but prefer milder/sweeter teas, and so I naturally like shous (and shengs too) haha.

I don’t mind bitter, but I’m mostly chasing interesting — older shengs, barrel aged stuff, etc. I just ordered a bunch of YS samples from like 2000-2008ish to start poking around in. I really don’t understand the regional flavor profiles at all yet, but I’m excited to see how different 20ish years can taste in different leaves and storages!

I get that! I’m also hoping to try some properly aged sheng at some point, but don’t have the money atm. I definitely don’t get all of the regional profiles either yet haha, but am excited to keep exploring :)
