Togo drank 2021 “TheTea” Ai Lao Gushu/Dashu Sheng Pu-Erh by TheTea

1001 tasting notes

What a beautiful tea. It has a bright and pungent profile, a mix of floral and fruity notes with decent bitterness. I also really like its light and airy mouthfeel with a distinct presence and the grounding qi.

Aromas are pleasant and mostly range from apricots to stewed green vegetables. In the empty cup, I can also smell flowers and bubblegum.

Flavours then include apple leaves and juice, parsley, fresh grain/oats, and lemon ester. The aftertaste is expansive with a sweet and sour character. It presents more of a bright fruity sweetness rather than honey-like as is common for sheng.

Flavors: Apple, Apricot, Bitter, Bubblegum, Floral, Flowers, Grain, Green, Lemon, Oats, Parsley, Sour, Sweet, Vegetables

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 7 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

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.
