I have a ton of raw pu’erh to get through. Good thing pu’erh stores well. o.O
The dry leaves smelled of honey, wood, and hay. Different colored dry leaves from silver leaves to medium green to brown leaves. The liquor is aromatic and smelled of honey and leaves, it was a very light amber color. The taste profile began with a slight bitterness, never a put-off type bitterness but one that felt it belonged there. The slight bitterness came with a light, almost tart feeling on the tongue, you could also feel the sides of your tongue react to the light astringency. There were lots of fruit notes, mainly citrus, stonefruits.
As I progress, it morphed into a thick, viscous, almost syrupy honey apricot-peach tea, and then add a little tobacco and smoke. It became less bitter, and sweeter. Lots of mouth action with this tea, super long sweet finish. Towards the end, a wee bit of bitterness would come in for a bit, but again, not in a negative type of way as it remained balanced from the 3rd or 4th infusion but that long sweet finish was ever so present. :)

Did it make you dance??
Seriously, if I went to the clubs in the 80s, I’d be going to the bathroom every 20 minutes for a fresh brew of this pu.
lol derk. Oh yes haha and I’m so “awake” it’s unreal lol. Not jittery or anything like that, just sheer energy, but a serious mood lifter too :D. I meant to add that but I ran off to do some things I wasn’t up to yesterday.
