drank 2015 Menghai V93 Premium Ripe Pu-erh Tea by Yunnan Sourcing
554 tasting notes

Clouded liquor with a dark red colour. Smell of the wet leaf is mostly peat-like.

The taste is not very complex, savoury notes of mushrooms dominate, but there is also considerable herbal bitterness. There is a long aftertaste, in which some sweetness apears as well.

I quite like the cha qi, which is fairly mild. I reckon due to the relatively mild fermentation the tea can change over time to develop more sweetness, which right now is very subdued.

Flavors: Bitter, Camphor, Moss, Mushrooms, Peat, Spicy

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 15 sec 7 g 4 OZ / 120 ML

Bio

Currently, I am a PhD student at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds.

I have been a fan of green tea for a while and only recently (in 2017) started exploring other kinds of tea in greater depth. I rarely drink blends or white tea and avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied. The one thing that I am currently missing in my collection are teas from India, in particular some Darjeelings.

My rating description:
100 _ Unforgettable tea, an experience that changes your life.
90 – 100 _ Excellent tea.
80 – 90 _ Very enjoyable, I will buy again.
70 – 80 _ I enjoyed it, but I most likely won’t be buying it again.
60 – 70 _ Decent.
50 – 60 _ Average, forgettable.
40 – 50 _ I didn’t really like the tea, but it is drinkable.
0 – 40 _ I would prefer to avoid the tea.
