Do you ever tuck teas away to rest or age and then totally forget they’re there!? This morning, I’m cracking into a cake that I must have shoved waaaay, deep into the back of my pumidor shortly after getting it. Up until now, it’s basically been untouched while I’ve been chipping away at the previous year’s pressing. Oops. It’s quite lovely, though, with a thick soup that’s an engaging balance of front-loaded sugar cane and green melon sweetness and fuzzy apricot skins, followed by a mid sip that’s almost grizzly with its woodier and slightly saline brothiness. The finish ties the two sides of that coin together with a coating sweet taste that’s equally earthy and herbal. It makes me think of ginseng flowers, a bit, or the style of jiaogulan that is coated in glucose. Bizarre, but not bad or unwelcome – and definitely a lovely, warming qi as I sip on it!!
