Gongfu!
A lazy Sunday called for an appropriately named tea, so I sipped on this sample this past weekend! This years pressing definitely doesn’t come close to the level of funk that the original 2017 pressing had when it was fresh, which is a plus – however having had the 2017 fairly recently I can say confidently that it’s settled into something quite delicious and this tea isn’t at that level yet. Right now it’s got notes of wet potting soil, oats, and date paste with a thick brothy liquor. I’m looking forward to holding onto this sample and seeing what it becomes, but this thick and cozy tea session wasn’t anything to complain or rave about!
