Backlog:
I have really enjoyed the Pu-erh teas that I’ve tried from Master Han. I love that the aroma isn’t overly earthy, in fact, I found that this smells more like a green tea than a pu-erh. It actually reminds me of the damp woods in my area of the world – the Pacific Northwest.
A refreshing flavor that’s sweet and mild, almost champagne-ish, with a light, bubbly character. I taste sticky rice and sweet, buttered corn. Nutty flavors that remind me of raw, unsalted cashew. A very satisfying tea that, as I say in my full-length review of this tea – http://sororiteasisters.com/2014/07/06/master-hans-2014-wild-picked-sheng-puer-tea-from-verdant-tea/ – leaves me feeling more like I’m eating than I’m drinking.
It’s a very interesting tea.
The second infusion was less creamy and starchy tasting, this time I experienced more of a brothy type experience. I could taste notes of barley. Dry mineral notes. Gentle floral notes and touches of spice.
