2023 An Ode to Tea – H
The letter ‘H’ is another where I have nothing close to a sipdown, so here is one I haven’t written a note for, from Meowster. Thank you! After the first steep, the little slice of cake Meowster parceled out is hardly unraveled. But that means the flavor is hardly overdone yet, which is a problem I have with raw puerh. But it’s also difficult to tell what those flavors ARE. It’s raw puerh with no negative characteristics. And also never acquires that overdone flavor. Good enough!
