I thought I would try out this nice sample set for W2T, take advantage of the free shipping it enables & learn a little more about the terroirs of Yunnan.
no.1 – Menghai. Classic fruity leafy sheng taste. Nice sour note tingling my tongue throughout the steeps, bitter but never delving into too bitter. Slight herbaceous/medicinal/camphor leaf aroma throughout. Lively energy, after 5 or 6 cups the caffeine kicked in & I was a bit wobbly from the stimulus.
A little underlying sweetness, but the soft sourness & slight fruit was the main player in the flavours.
Nice notes!
