50 Tasting Notes
This is the one thats really 05 maocha pressed in 2015, there is some nice storage on it. But ithas a heavy Mugwort taste, if you’ve never had Mugwort, its very barnyard like. This is not a flavor i like in my puer so this one is undrinkable for me
Yeah you gotta be weary of aged mao cha sometimes… I feel similarly about the W2T Repave (though I like that one) and the YS Bu Lang Shan Yun.
What? I love this tea. It needs airing, a year in my crocks and it will be awesome.
I didn’t think of that. I was just so excited when I saw the price I brewed right after I opened the sample bag.
Very tasty. Just a little light for me, but I’m a fan of stuff like ghost peppers, IIPA’s, Xiaguan (lol). But I do enjoy it. Especially for early morning sessions when you just want that young puer
Ghost peppers? Those things will send you to the hospital. Your reviews are funny, I’m enjoying them.
I love em, but they are dangerous! Im growing Carolina Reapers too and their about twice as hot as ghosts. But I’m glad my reviews are amusing to you, your pretty much a celebrity in my eyes.
Carolina reapers, I got the seeds for next year to plant. Got any this year you want to get rid of?
I’ve just got buds now. So I’ll see how things go, but I might be able to set aside a pod or two for ya :)
Peppers and Pu.
Its delicious.
A bit lighter then i was expecting,( im used to harsh factory tuos), ive really been blown away by the 2015 collection in general. So much more approachable then Dayi or Xiaguan stuff. I thought that young sheng was only for the people with iron stomachs. Dont get me wrong i wouldnt drink this tea first thing in the morning without eating, but this is very easy on me, and ive had stomach problems in the past.
Flavors: Floral, Sweet, Tropical, Vegetal
Preparation
This is one manly tea. Strong, deep flavors, intense longevity (easily goes past 15 steeps with only ~6gs in a standard gaiwan for me) earthy as hell like dry aged beets, viscous, and slightly astringent in just the right way. I GUESS I could understand why SOME PEOPLE dont get it. Maybe it’s just too deeply earthy, but i think that hobbes summed it up very nicely "It’s not “haute cuisine” but it is darned satisfying."
Preparation
Can’t get enough of this stuff. Itl change your mornings. Xiao? Mm change your evenings. A powerful workhorse of raw puerh goodness. Its got the qi ya need. And that smoky green Xiaguan punch in the toung. Their super affordable at the moment too. DTH is selling sleeves for 25 bucks including shipping
