From The Essence of Tea

We thought we’d found our teas for this year with the four other cakes we pressed…. then we tasted this. It was collected by a friend of ours from a Lahu village to the north-west of Menghai.

Please, Essence of Tea, please tell me you can ship from Malaysia. You released so much of your old Malaysian-stored catalog!

Backlog of a long-ago-purchased-sample sipdown. This tea now feels like a distant dream. Oh I found the envelope with some notes written on the back:
easy to drink
very sweet, hint of smoke, foresty, light sparkling sweetness, very mineral, honey, cotton candy, cantaloupe, nutmeg, wintergreen

Solid young sheng. I wasn’t wowed, but I also realize that I don’t know what qualities in a young sheng will evolve into something amazing with age. This had a fruity apricot flavor and smoke, but very light smoke. I would imagine that would dissipate over time, but it’s not bad now.
