The 2021 680 is a soft and succulent raw Puer blend. Airy cotton candy dancing on high pitched aromas and stone fruits with a mineral sweetness. When pushed, it moves into overwhelmingly saccharine territory. With a light hand, it’s a gently sweet breeze.
Each cake is 200 grams.
Pressed in 2021. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are wrapped in bamboo leaf tongs, with five cakes per tong.
Gongfu!
It was the description of cotton candy that attracted me to this tea, and I have to say that I think it’s pretty accurate! This a softness to the start of this session, and really to most of the infusions within it as well. With it comes a light, sugary sweetness than transitions into a mid-sip with more overall body and a slightly more vegetal and mineral undertone, like darker leafy greens. The finish is a little bitter before returning to that almost caramelized or spun sugar quality. Very interesting how each sip sort of “seesaws” between delicate, fluffy indulgence and snappy greens. Though I felt really engaged whilst steeping this raw pu’erh, I haven’t yet fully decided whether I’m into it or not. I love the sweetness, but those kale-like vegetal notes are definitely a lot less up my alley…

a light sweetness and a strange numbing sensation on the tip of my tongue, probably the most inoffensive and easy drinking teas for literally anyone. The sweetness hangs out for a while and even at higher brew temps or longer brew times I didn’t get any weird notes to come at me. I need to sit down with this one again to see if it’s got any other hidden surprises.
Flavors: Candy, Honey
