Togo drank 2014 Dehong Ye Sheng Cha Wild Tree Purple Tea cake by Yunnan Sourcing

947 tasting notes

A unique tea for sure. Strangely enough though, the same characteristics that I like so much in YS’s Ye Sheng black teas, don’t do it for me in this sheng. I can imagine that the profile becomes more likeable over time, but I am not going to invest in this tea in order to find out. Maybe in a few years time, I will try get hold of some sample that’s been aged more.

Flavors: Bark, Bitter, Camphor, Celery, Oak

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 30 sec 6 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
