For lovers of pleasant bitterness.
Stored until the end of 2020 in cool, dry Zhengzhou, the flavour of this Sheng at first belies its age, remaining distinctly fresh and vegetal on the palate. In its slow development, it has gained an edge of spice, however, the pungency of clove and ginger mingling with the astringency of plum skin and the sweetness of cooked peas. Perhaps it takes after its namesake, though, with the ‘bitter bamboo mountain’ lending its namesake character—but not too much. It remains round and pleasant, and sure to satisfy those looking for a tantalising tea with a bit of everything.
Company description not available.
Another one from my second NS order. This one is really strange tbh. I dont know how to describe it. Seems pretty watery in mouthfeel yet simultaneously fairly thick. Has a lasting spiciness (think cloves) that is unusual in puerh. Supposedly, Kuzushan means “bitter bamboo mountain.”
Infusions 4-7 certainly started to bring out the bitterness. Not an overbearing bitterness, but still not quite my jam. I can see how people would like this one, though.
The taste later changed again to become a bit more acidic/spicy and the bitterness faded. Lots of complexity here.
