Tasting Notes
Satisfying sweetness, soft, honey, and caramel notes, no bitterness/astringency, more like a ‚forest lemonade‘, with some bright floral notes and mushroom notes, also bit herbal/medicinal, generally mellow and easy to drink, due to the strong aroma it feels quite thick
In a Sentence
Brown sugar forest sweetness
Journal
This tea reminds of the Wangong area teas which I like. Strong forest sweetness, maltyness, which is not just plain sweet, but with a little bit of a herbal/medicinal backbone to balance the body and add depth.
There is some fruityness if pushed, generelly I feel this tea can be pushed quite a bit, but well, I generally drink my puerhs rather light.
Its not super strong tee, and qi/feel is not that complex, but the taste alone makes it a clear favourite, - great for a relaxed session.

This time in the Zini Pot, I noticed more of the tangy notes and also bit more fruity than last time. Nice fresh feel & soft, tingling qi, encouraging deep breaths. Bright.
