From the Pu TTB round 5

Brews a light yellow. Super nice and thick, oily mouthfeel. Mineral, spice, green wood, slight floral and mushroom notes make a complex brew. “Yiwu-ish” profile by my experience. Low-medium bitterness and a little bit of sweetness. The brewed leaves are very nice. Thick stems, olive green color.

Thinking about this tea, I realize how hard it is to put into words what differentiates a tea that’s “good” or “ok” from one that’s great. I may not have the words, but this one definitely falls in the “great” category for me, at least for near-term drinking.

Bio

Tea addict since around 2011.

My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.

Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.

Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.

I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.
