“Have you Kaplowitz’d to-day?”
Firepot Nomadic Teas
Shou Puerh Tuo-Cha
ORIGIN: Yunnan, China
TYPE: Green tea (maocha) Puerh
FORMAT: Birds Nest
METHOD: French Press
WEBSITE: www.firepot.com
NOTES:
At once peaty & fresh. A bigly mineral-saline. Broad on the tongue, blanketing a bit dully. Liquor dark as your ex's heart. Matte finish, there. Some burgundy depths. Steeped leaves are a monochromatic dark brown and smell of that peaty sip.
Aroma in the cup is purple fruit backed lightly peppered cedar. More sipping continued from the onset here: A bit watery & lacking in depth. Nothing much to add. Distant licorice. A dark grain. Slurps bring up that anise & wheat on out/up. Also, though, some more water. A bit flatly-so.
Not overly complex because nuance is where puerh complexity is found. Rather abrupt damp sidewalk finish. Smooth to almost a fault. But also can be seen as quiet meditation. Warms down to the gut, comforts there, sedately. Solemnly.
FINAL GRADE: B
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
