Nothing like four cups of this, this afternoon…still yawning.

drank Royal Pu'erh by Vital Tea Leaf
1812 tasting notes

Backlog:
Another one from tea tasting, yesterday. Knowing my heavy preference for pu’erh, the folks at Vital Leaf tend to – after serving everyone along the section of counter – simply set the rest of the pitcher of pu’erh in front of me.
I have no qualms with this.
Usually, I prefer the Supreme Yunnan (12 year aged) over this, the Royal (15 year aged), but yesterday it tasted better and richer than I remember, perhaps due to not having drank any for some time. (I think my cupboard no longer has any Royal.)

I am not sure, why I was “saving” this as though for a rainy day. Today is not rainy, but it is windy, so I am having some tasty shou!

Decided to go fancy, today at the office. Brewing this for the morning. One cup at a time.

Two more and done. They really were not very strong.

Darker second steep, richer flavors.

First steep is not terribly strong, but it carries a characteristic smoothness, which verges on oily yet is not oily at the same time.
