695 Tasting Notes

I went with 195DEGF and short infusions to start.

Mild, unoffensive, but packed with flavor. It’s mellow on the body and follows up with a pleasant drying/astringent mouthfeel. The finish is medium, only the sensation lingers on the tongue.
The flavors are one-dimensional to me but it does offer an enjoyable experience as a whole. It feels like the leaves have plenty of legs. It was stored a little dry but is otherwise tasty.

Drinking the last of this today. It has been a cupboard staple for some years but it’s time to move on.

This one is very good, sweet but roasty, the brewing paramaters and flavor lead to a nice complexity. I need to get my head wrapped around a full review, but the first session breaking into this cake was great!

I didn’t have time to take notes into account with this session but the tea itself was very enjoyable and brewed forgivingly well!

So glad that it’s aged well! The fresh press of this cake was undrinkably bitter to me, no matter the parameters

I got that bitterness from the Mandala Mao Ca I purchased from you. Rather than feeling or brewing like a young sheng this tastes matured, mellow, and quite tasty! I need to work on explaining the profile and notes so I can write up a review.

Thank you for the opportunity with that stash sale, I’m building a palate finally.

90-100 Stellar, to be displayed proudly if shared with guests. Or just a tea that hits its mark well.
80-90 I enjoy this tea a lot, would purchase and drink it. Fine if it lives in the pantry
70-80 Above Average, would drink it and probably still buy if the mood struck me.
50-70 Average, I would still drink it when available.
0-50 I don’t care for this tea, and have no desire to care for it.
