Togo drank 2020 Yunnan Sourcing "Bai Hua Tan" Yi Wu Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake by Yunnan Sourcing

1008 tasting notes

I am not sure what went wrong, but this is one of a very few of YS sourced teas that I find wholly underwhelming. It’s not bad per se, but at this price one would clearly expect something more than “not bad”. Unfortunately, I only got 10g, so I can’t experiment with it much.

The tea lacks the thick texture, flavour depth and huigan of Yi Wu sheng. It is a pretty grassy one overall, and a tea that might do well with more humid storage compared to other YS sheng. It is not too bitter, but there is a decent amount of abrasive astringency.

Flavors: Astringent, Biting, Creamy, Floral, Grass, Herbs, Honey, Nutty, Plant Stems, Spicy

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 6 g 4 OZ / 110 ML

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
