Gongfu!
First session of the new year! It was a damn good one to kick things off with, but not really intentionally picked for any reason other than I was craving yancha.
So mineral and toasty in early infusions: dark mahogany, charred peanuts, tobacco, leather, & pine smoke. Then those flavours break, and the taste is like jammy, cooked down plum paste. Finally, the finish is fresh flowers – cherry blossom – and sweet plum and white peach juices. Such an evolution, and fucking immaculate. This is why I keep coming back to Old Ways Tea – the yancha they source is just mind blowing!!
