Togo drank 2017 Yunnan Sourcing "Big Snow Mountain" Wild Arbor Raw by Yunnan Sourcing

1000 tasting notes

From the wet leaves I get a sweet, cooling aroma with some conifer forest qualities. On the other hand the empty cup has an incredibly strong beeswax smell.

The taste of the tea is fairly sweet, floral and mineral, displaying pine, honey and fermented fruit notes. Liquor is medium bodied and the mouthfeel I get is is sticky, buttery and powdery in the finish. After swallowing I get a throat clenching and contractive feeling as well as chilli spiciness that lasts for a while. After it passes, the aftertaste becomes quite floral and sweet again.

Overall, I didn’t find the tea to be terribly complex, nevertheless it is very yummy.

Flavors: Alcohol, Astringent, Floral, Forest Floor, Fruity, Honey, Pine, Spicy, Sweet

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.
