Togo drank 2021 Yunnan Sourcing "Guang Bie Lao Zhai" Old Arbor Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake by Yunnan Sourcing

997 tasting notes

I broke open this cake after almost three years in my storage. Compared to the sample I tried, the tea is now entering a slightly awkward stage and is not so well defined. The texture and bitterness are as good as I remember though.

The taste is kind of nutty and vegetal with a plenty of floral sweetness and hints of sugarcane, coffee, and camomile.

Flavors: Bitter, Chamomile, Coffee, Floral, Nutty, Sugarcane, Sweet, Thick, Vegetal

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 6 g 3 OZ / 100 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.
