I often find that Yi Wu pu-erh is overpriced and not quite my kind of taste profile. This one, however, is highly enjoyable with a strong yet pleasant energy to back up the experience.
The dry leaf aroma is sweet and fruity, which morphs to a flowery and cooling one with notes of ghee, compost, and ash throughout the session.
The liquor is thick and full-bodied with a a lot of depth and intensity in taste – floral, bitter, and sweet above all, but also mineral, spicy, medicinal, and herbaceous. The flavours remind me of gin, honey, sage, spearmint, and butter.
