2004 date aroma ripe from curated puerh box
Been making a point to drink through more of my shou samples lately and gave this one a try after it’d had plenty of time to rest following its travels. This shou is sweet-smelling when dry and sweet and mushroomy when wet.
Gave this one a wash to start, and the first steep poured a light red. Flavor profile was sweet with prominent mushroom notes and a hint of something vegetal at the end. A cooling sensation developed and extended well into the aftertaste.
Overall, this one was creamy and clean, with a sweetness that built throughout the session.
creamy, clean,
sweetness comes out more after a few more steeps
