About an hour after drinking a raw pu’erh from YS, I find myself grabbing another sample package. Well, looks like ripe it is!
Upon brewing this, either my sample or the tea itself, it needed some help to open up or else I knew I wouldn’t be tasting the actual tea most of the session. About six steeps through and I can tell that this ripe doesn’t have what I look for in a ripe; cream notes or thick texture like I am almost drinking mud.
I’m insanely picky with ripe to be honest, but those who would like this would be the ones who like their pu really runny ;)
This has a solid fermentation taste throughout each steep; but please note I stopped at six because I wasn’t feeling the shu’ld drink this anymore.

mud: earth/fermentation, forest floor autumn leaves…. all are almost the same to me. takes great skill to tell the diference
or be the sort of person that eats mud and leaves in real life to know which is which. Thats dedication :D
@rasseru lol i go by smell (90% of what something smells like is what it will taste like; so i hear.)
Yeah same. LP isnt normal so he has to do the last 10% as well
LP what would you say are your top 3-5 favorite ripes?
