The peppery quality to this tea is wonderful too. It gives it a more round taste and balances the mellow sweetness.<br />I wish I could tell you where this tea came from.<br />I don't like when there isn't a label, but it was free for me so I am not going to complain!<br />It is a very pretty tea as well, all compressed into one large cylinder.<br />I did use a bit too much tea for my liking on this session so I may cut it down for future tastings!Sir William of the Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366359211931253914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716967665946843642.post-75916825464469155402010-05-17T17:03:54.057-04:002010-05-17T17:03:54.057-04:00It's interesting...I haven't tried that ma...It's interesting...I haven't tried that many pu-erhs but I've tried enough to recognize some of these aromas and flavors that you describe.<br /><br />I strongly dislike the peppery quality when it comes in a smoother or more mellow tea, but I like it in strong black teas, so I'm not sure how I'd respond to it here.<br /><br />I like tea that has a suggestion of tobacco though in the aroma. I've noticed this both in sheng pu-erhs and other Yunnan greens. I also really like teas that have a honey-like quality but also some bitterness. I find it interesting that I tend to like the bitterness of less aged sheng pu-erh, whereas a lot of people describe it as an undesirable quality that they'd like to see aged out.Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716967665946843642.post-83780752474769010522010-05-15T19:24:12.499-04:002010-05-15T19:24:12.499-04:00Fox,

I will have to experiment with it more to see what else I can get out of these leaves!Sir William of the Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366359211931253914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716967665946843642.post-50325582412159264802010-05-15T11:34:24.865-04:002010-05-15T11:34:24.865-04:00Mmm, sounds better than any pu'erh I've ha...Mmm, sounds better than any pu'erh I've had.Ruqyo Highsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210517193033102532noreply@blogger.com
