Togo drank Jing Gu Sun-Dried Silver Needles White Pu-erh Tea Cake * Spring 2017 by Yunnan Sourcing

996 tasting notes

At this point, the tea is not very exciting overall. The flavours are somewhat muted, and there is also some surt of off-putting taste to it. Moreover, I don’t really enjoy the sort of bitterness it has when overbrewed, which reminds me of an overbrewed mint tea.

Nevertheless, it is still a very much drinkable white tea and I am interested in how it develops further.

At the moment, some notes I get are celery, hay, chicken broth, snail meat, and various herbs.

Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Celery, Chicken Soup, Hay, Meat, Mint, Sour

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.
