drank Trade Secret Raw Puer by Bitterleaf Teas
1029 tasting notes

I haven’t had a properly focused session with this tea yet, despite drinking it on several occasions already.

Its aroma has a touch of fermented fruits, as well as notes of bog, zucchini flowers, and tobacco. The taste is grainy, bitter, floral, fruity, sweet, and also a bit sour. One can indeed say it’s a fairly well-balanced blend.

Flavors: Bitter, Floral, Flowers, Fruity, Grain, Oily, Sour, Sweet, Tobacco, Zucchini

Bitterleaf wrote that they were trying for balance so one could turn their brain off, and it sounds like they succeeded! You mentioned “fermented fruits”, and didn’t Bitterleaf suggest one might detect notes of ptomaine? No, I guess I read that wrong… ;-)

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.
