Matu drank 2015 Yunnan Sourcing Ku Zhu Shan Raw Pu-erh tea cake by Yunnan Sourcing

485 tasting notes

Better with 7g. Very intense flavor, especially on first few steeps. Oversteep by even a couple seconds and you’re getting punched in the face with some heavy bitterness. After a bit, the bitterness dies down and is replaced with a more mellow and sweet grassy/floral flavor. Even then, you can still taste a bit of pungent bitterness in this tea.

Flavors: Bitter, Brown Sugar, Floral, Grass, Sweet

Preparation

Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 7 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
