This tea was labeled 2013 Mystery Raw from Yunnan Sourcing.
I did a wash and brewed up the first infusion. It tasted very very fruity, with tropical fruits being the main taste. But, the main fruit that stood out was pine-apple. It tasted very much like pineapple with a peach and mango blend hiding behind it. It was a very nice tea, I enjoyed it very much.
It lasted about 6-7 infusions, with the fruity taste going behind and a grassy taste going in front, but the weird thing is, is that these two tastes sort of switched. One infusion I would taste a very fruity taste, but for 2 infusions that died down and I tasted a fruity hay. But then the pine apple returned until the session was over.
Today I also realized what being tea drunk is. I am super tea drunk it seems, as I am ridiculously calm, and really struggling to write this tasting note. I also feel really really up lifted with sort of a light feeling in the head and arms.
Overall, a very nice first puer, and I am excited for tomorrow to try a sheng!

Cha Qi it is.
ooooh! Thats what qi is! Well this tea definitely has such a strong qi, that only wore off an hour later! I just thought I was tea drunk, but I guess that’s a feeling for another time.
