Togo drank 2017 Yunnan Sourcing "Autumn Nan Po Zhai" Ancient Arbor Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake by Yunnan Sourcing

554 tasting notes

This tea just keeps getting better each time I have it. Now that I finished my sample, I am going to be thinking about getting a cake.

It seems able to preserve a lot of its fragrance. The taste is pungent with a lot of high notes, but not overwhelmingly floral. The bright and crisp character is complemented by a gin-like bitterness and a heavy sweetness. There is a lot of focus on the aftertaste, which is refreshing even with all the returning honey-like sweetness.

Flavors: Alcohol, Apple, Apple Skins, Bitter, Floral, Honey, Sweet

Preparation

Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 7 g 110 OZ / 3253 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.
