12 tasting notes

This is a slightly tight compressed tea cake fairly well matured in China except for the past few months in the south of France all in dry conditions. After a rinse, the first four steepings have a golden orange colour and a caramel like aroma but not over-powering. For most part the liquor is smooth with no astringency or bitterness. Not much caffeine has been found as expected for a middle aged tea like this but it made me feel relaxed. After 4 steepings the leaves have a burnt sienna colour still with a burnt sugar aroma.

Flavors: Burnt Sugar, Orchid

In March 2013 we were in HK when I first tried a pu’er tea. I still recall being a 19 year old Imperial loose leaf tea, after that it was uphill from there.

Mostly I drink sheng rather than shou because of the fear of the creation of kidney stones but once a month I spoil myself with a shou session.
