So Tea Urchin sent me some of this 2017 maocha called ‘along the border’ and it was super funky in a good way. First sheng that I’ve actually encountered rose notes to; like a dry flower with a little flirt to it.
I am looking forward to everyone dropping all the 2017 cakes… but the prices, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anyways, this lasted a decent 8 steeps which is typical for most maocha that I have had. Really nice floral notes that faded into the firth steep and then went light and vegetal on me.

Agreed on the pricing…
I got a bit of this too…had similarly odd yet enjoyable experience
+2 on the pricing. Puerh is getting too popular.
