I didn’t take as many notes on the session as I wanted, but I noted that it had ‘soft, creamy, sweet, honey’ notes. This is one of those young puerh teas that are just too complex to describe in full detail. It is one of those teas that bring you to silence, allowing the time to pass without words. It’s similar to an unwritten love poem, moving you to the point of stillness, which can be called a quiet love, I suppose.

Farmerleaf has a few teas that fill me with such stillness and calm, that I cannot simply spend the time reading, writing, talking, or gaming; rather, I sit in silence, musing only over the tea.

With that said, the tea lasts a short while—not as long as some teas that I typically drink—but it can take a hard hit with boiling water/steep time, without growing bitter, sour, or astringent. It’s light and pleasant, through and through.

I only wish that I was capable of making a better note on this tea. It’s a good one, that’s for sure.

Tea to be pondered in silence—and the time to do so—is a wonderful thing.

gmathis-Exactly! Weekends are the best time for me to sip tea; really get into the session. Weekdays are spent multitasking, while maybe jotting down a note or two.

Shae-Thank you! Sometimes a tea can inspire creativity while writing about it. ;)

Drinking down a lot of my teas in 2020. I may not observe these sessions as much as I’d like, but I’ll note them, when the mood strikes.
