From Bitterleaf Teas

If something gentle and light is your thing, then this is (literally) not your cup of tea. However, if you want a bold tea that makes a statement, we’ve got your covered. Made from Nannuo old tree material, this tea pulls no punches, with a prominent kuwei (pleasant bitterness) and roughness up front that yields to heavy sweetness in the back.

In the domestic (Chinese) tea scene, Nannuo teas have a bit of a reputation for being aggressive and… Read more

Gongfu!

I feel like I’m always so prepared for this tea to be much, much more bitter, astringent, and aggressive punchy than it actually is. It’s true that it does have some upfront bitterness in a slightly more green and medicinal way and that there’s a consistent astringency throughout most of the session. However, I find both to be incredibly well balanced, and to me, it reads as medicinal in an almost soothing way with a sort of tranquil fuzziness to the mouthfeel. I can’t think of a better way to describe it than that static electricity feeling of a limb falling asleep – before the pain of it waking up has started to set in. Floral notes creep from the undertones to the finish, and I get such a lovely but mild note of raspberries in the back half of the sip. Not tart or juicy, but smooth and mellow and very well integrated with the flowery notes peeking through and the sweetness that fills the palate after the bitterness has passed.

A nice yet average pu-erh! I got this tea from my recent BLT order, and while there wasn’t much to rave about this tea, it isn’t bad by any means either. Beautiful pickings and liquor with a potent wet leaf aroma, average texture, finish and aftertaste. The big stand out for this tea is its cha-qi, with it being persistently present even from steep 1. This tea lacked in character and complexity, flavour lacked in potency and dimensionality, and the tea didn’t hold up for that many infusions. Overall, decent decent, but there’s better for this price.
