Well, I have been revisiting this tea and have become a bit disappointed. I have yet to repeat the greatness of my first session with this tea. I find almost no returning sweetness tho there is a bit on the front. The biggest thing is the astringency. Mouth puckering and not that enjoyable. I have varied the brewing parameters but still getting the same thing. I suppose I got lucky and picked off a sweet magic spot from the cake my first session. I’m going to let this one sit and age a bit before making any more judgements.

Tea is my offering to the muses. Fuel for song. I like Oolongs, Blacks, Shou and Sheng Pu’erh. Each were a “gateway drug” that led to the latter in that same order. I fear becoming an obsessed brew fiend though I think that I have possibly crossed that line after trying my first Pu’erh. I don’t pretend to be a knower of all things tea but hope to learn more everyday….so please feel free to share as it would be much appreciated.
