From white2tea

Our Saturday Mass is a blend of our small batch shu Puer and chenpi (Mandarin orange skin).

This blend focuses on the thicker, heavy aspects of shu Puer and an aged orange skin that offers a darker medicinal citrus aroma. The tea has a thick texture with a smooth, heavy body and dark flavor profile. Perfect tea for cold or wet weather. Drink now or age as you please.

Each cake is 200 grams of tea.

Gongfu!

This Saturday afternoon I’m steeping up a session of the aptly named 2020 “Saturday Mass” chenpi blended shou pu’erh!! This is a dark, heavy and medicinal ripe pu’erh with a lot of those aromatic, bitter and pleasantly oily and coating citrus notes up front. Like, just a massive punch of deep, dense orange. It does subside a fair bit after the first three or four steeps; and as that pivot happens the more velvety and brothy notes of the shou itself make themselves more known. A mix of wet potting soil, heavy cooking cream, and an unctuous umami flavour that hangs in the back of the throat along with the traces of pithy, medicinal chenpi!

First impressions:
Balsamic, chestnut honey, complex. Deep and bright. Intense.

1
Sweet, full bodied. Nice bite and bitterness. Beewax from the empty cup.

2
Balsamic, dark citrus, pine resin. Chestnut honey. Delicate aftertaste. Smooth and balanced body, tangy bitter sweet.

3
Very rich, dark chocolate, Orange. Lingering citrusy aftertaste

4
Aroma doesn’t Change much, gets less citrusy and more earthy. Liquor less thick. dry. Aftertaste is good and coats the mouth in a gentle way. Heart goes faster, head slows down.

5
Aroma doesn’t change much. Body thins out. I feel the caffeine. Chest tension. Flavours look more simple and clear.

6
Simpler, citrus gets stronger and fresher. Real dark honey feeling in the liquor. Aromatic bittersweet.

7
I steeped it for 5 minutes but the liquor was weak and watery. Not much flavour left.

Final thoughts:
I found it deep and satisfying, not very dynamic but never boring. It gives me a warm and healing sensation. Good match with today’s rainy weather.
However I feel it’s strong on caffeine and today is making me nervous.
