Our Reckless Daughter is a blend of several lightly fermented small batch shou Puer teas from the last few years.
This tea is meant to be aged, but veteran Puer drinkers won’t flinch at the brisk sweetness and higher floral notes that blanket the unruly freshness of the pile and the scant, darker traditional shou aspects of the tea. This tea drinks much like an aged sheng Puer, rather than a traditional shou, and will continue to progress in that direction over the coming years, retaining a strong huigan (returning sweetness in the mouth) and strong feel.
Each cake is 200 grams of tea.
Gongfu!
This is such a thick and brothy shou with heavier mineral rich and savory meat-y notes coupled w/ just a hint of very dark bittersweet cacao. I definitely feel like there’s almost a disconnect with the brighter floral pink and purple teaware I selected for this tea session but I am enjoying the tea itself. The soup is so syrupy and the overall profile so umami rich that it feels a bit more like it would be the perfect hearty pu’erh to drink in place of a stew during a more bone chilling winter storm. Of course, worth noting that as usual I absolutely loaded up my gaiwan with an unruly amount of leaf, so it’ll be interesting to at some point try a more restrained session to see if I get a profile more close to W2T’s described tasting notes…

“Unruly amount of leaf” pairs with “reckless” though. I definitely like an “Unruly amount of leaf” when I steep shou
