Today while packing I was drinking another tea from the group buy conducted by Liquid Proust. This one was a semi-aged sheng labelled as “Dat TW stuff”. It was an interesting tea to try for sure, especially given my lack of experience with aged pu’er. I suppose this particular one has seen a relatively humid storage, but I can only guess given the information I have.
The tea was very strong on the camphor and mint notes, but also had a lot of fruity ones. In particular, I noticed plums and, surprisingly, also orange. The orange note completely escaped me initially, but once I noticed it, it captured my attention.
The most memorable aspect of this tea was the qi for sure though. Super dreamy and no rushy feeling. I was drinking the tea from flask also in the bus on the way to the airport, with mist and hail outside, listening to some vaporwave music and it channeled me into pretty eclectic lucid dreams, while also making me feel relaxed and in-peace-with-the-world.
I have none of Dat TW stuff in my box. Sounds wonderful :)
I miss our Liquid Proust and his experiments and his group buy opportunities and his insights.
I thought I saw Liquid Proust ‘like’ a tasting note the other day, on the ‘explore’ feed….
