26 Tasting Notes
Best smelling dry leaf i’ve ever smelled. Stone fruit stone fruit stone fruit. and gummy bears.
Speaking of stones, yeah this tea kinda gets you stoned. It’s an expensive high, but I don’t know any drugs that taste this good. If anyone does please let me know.
Wet leaf is nice apricoty smell, but not as great as that darn dry leaf smell. Wowza
I don’t really get much mouthfeel from this tea. No throat feel. Or any other of those feels. Little bit of a nice bite to it. in the cheeks. in later steeps.
Flavors: Stonefruits
Preparation
I haven’t had that one yet. I heard only very good things about it. Unfortunately, it was way past my budget for samples!
Yes it is definitely the most expensive sample I’ve ever bought. You can buy some great 357 gram cakes for the price of that 25 gram sample. I bought it for the novelty luxury of trying it. Though I have to say, as far as the White2Tea ‘drinking with your body’ qi teas I’ve tried, which is not very many but nonetheless, I liked Bosch a lot more. That was one of the more amazing feeling teas I’ve ever had. And while it’s super expensive, I was entertaining for a second the distant possibility of buying a cake of it, because I liked it so much. Whereas Last Thoughts I don’t think i would ever spring for. Have you tried Bosch?
I have! I really like the 2016 Bosch. I need one more proper session before I can write a review. I thought I had written one earlier…
This is good stuff. Very caffeinated, very high strung tea. I did a session with 9 grams in a yixing by myself and got pretty lit. Then I did 6 in a gaiwan by myself over a longer period of time and just had a really nice persistent energy. Smooth tasting, decent bitterness, goes for quite some time. I will add more tasting notes on my next go around
Preparation
Great tea. Lovely smelling wet leaves, fruits, toasted sesame, smells like someone’s cooking something good. pie maybe. brews a really nice amber liquid. has a pretty good mouthfeel actually. to my untrained mouth.
