This year we decided to test our 941 blend for over 800 agrochemicals using the EU MRL standard and it passed. We made this blend to offer a clean, thoughtful, well-made raw Puer that is affordable for any tea drinker. We also tested our 2023 Veldt, another of our entry level raw Puer teas.
The return our our 2022 blend. Most of our blends are made to be intense in one way or another, but what if you want to casually drink Puer at the beach? This is a light and relaxing blend, easy drinking. No frills, no stress. Sweet, soft and easy. It will age beautifully, or it’s fresh sweet grass Yiwu character is a pleasure for a soft session the day it arrives. The kind of raw Puer that you could easily use to introduce new tea drinkers to the genre or ideal for a casual cup in the morning.
I had this mini sitting in the sample pile for sipdowns, etc. I held off for a while to give this a try. I can’t recall when I had received it, but here we are…I had continued this in the wee hours of Saturday. I hadn’t slept very well (my dreams have been strange lately. I’ve been having “what if” dreams where I went into different fields of study during college and the type of careers I could’ve had, had I chosen an alternative field during college. I’ve also been dreaming of old friends, etc.) and I decided that the best time to wake up, despite having gone to bed after work around 01:00, was at 05:30. After hitting the tea some more, I realized my error, sipping on an empty stomach. I quickly tossed back a fruit smoothie and finished off the leaf.
To my surprise – there sat a little tea being, sharing their own bowl. Perhaps my imagination got the best of me or perhaps there are ‘tea people’ who wait their whole lives to venture into their own cup. Luckily, I was there to capture the moment.
Gongfu!
This afternoon, I’m sipping down a 2023 941 sheng pu’erh mini from @white2tea that was added as a free sample to one of my orders this past year! I have a cake of, I believe, the 2022 production of this raw pu’erh and though I’ve only steeped it a few times I recall really enjoying the soft and sweeter taste and texture. It’s one of those “nail on the head” teas in regard to appealing to my penchat for Yiwu productions.
From memory, this mini is expectedly quite similar with a really gentle overall profile and light notes of dewy fresh pears, snow peas, and a mellow grassy and hay-like midsip that anchors the orchard fruit and cooling vegetal notes. Almost a creamy finish, especially in the late session. However, as most of the more sugary notes sit in the front half of the sip, it’s a creamy tail end that lacks sweetness. If I didn’t have a cake of the 2022 material I could totally see myself adding a few more minis of this to my next order…
