Made from 2022 early spring Menghai area material that is not quite old arbor. This material is usually made into raw Puer, but this spring we commissioned this production of black tea.
The 2022 Horse Girl Clique is sweet and full bodied. The malty sweetness of the soup is flavorsome and intense. Aromas of sticky rice and wild honey permeate the soup and leaves. A great tea to begin the day.
Pressed in 2022. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
Gongfu!
Started my morning with a session of 2022 Horse Girl Clique and some sweet and tangy passionfruit!! I really love how super dark, slightly bitter chocolate and the lively, bright acidity of passionfruit balance each other out so that’s what I had in mind with this combination, however the tea itself leaned much more heavily towards thick notes of malt, honey, and starchy grains than I had remembered. It was still delicious, but definitely a different dynamic than what I’d expected at first. The dark, dense buckwheat honey was interesting with the more “top note” sweetness of the fruit. It was hard to not have the passionfruit eclipse it entirely since the flavour is so much more intense and concentrated, but after a few steeps – when I got the ratio of tea to fruit more correct – it created a fun layering of different types of sweetness. With that in mind, I probably wouldn’t repeat this pairing but it was still super fun trying it out!
