got around to this after 2 years…
6.7g, 90mL duanni, 212f
2 rinses. compression is not too bad, but was hard to separate individual leaves as is often the case for shou puer.
1st: slightly bitter, some acidity. rounded and something coffee like
2nd: like 1st. slightly sweet finish, almost like a sheng with a few years on it in a minty sweet floral kind of way.
3rd: clean.
i had dinner plans and so had to run, but this was a pleasant surprise. I don’t think I’ve made it a secret that I don’t fancy most of what I’ve tried from EoT, and find their teas I’ve tried subpar, or at best to be of mediocre value and/or quality. I enjoyed this! I haven’t bought anything from W2T in years, so have no benchmark for modern shou though
