Thank you LiberTEAS for this sample!
This has taken me much more time than planned to finally add the notes to this wonderful tea. At least that’s what a journal is for, to keep my thoughts recorded. This tea is too special to forget.
The aroma that rises from the pot, immediately reminds me of stewed tomatoes. The taste of the cup is mellow and tame, which I really like. Not exactly what you expect from a shu. The liquid is slightly acidic, yet minty – especially towards the front of the mouth. I’m also picking up some likeness of peppercorn. This is a very nice tea, that stays with you the rest of the day.

That is a good observation, the flavor staying with you. A great quality to find in tea.
Bonnie, you are right. It’s nice to have a tea stay with you, even more so if its a good one. :)
