drank 2019 Yunnan Sourcing "Ai Lao Secret Garden" Old Arbor Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake by Yunnan Sourcing
983 tasting notes

Today, this sheng seems even more flavourful than a year ago, which is no mean feat. It is very similar, but maybe a touch sweeter and quite tangy. Some new notes include grape skins, sea buckthorn, alcohol as well as some more generic fermented fruit flavours in the sweet and sour finish. The aftertaste then also displays hints of lemon and sugar.

The aromas are also definitely still there, with some new notes of sea salt and fruit tree flowers before the rinse. The overall profile remains fairly stable for now though.

Bio

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.
