Gushu Sheng Pu Erh Tee 400 g Brick with Nuances of Apricot and Jasmine
--
If you dont have time to read the whole text below, let me summarize the taste of the tea in two words for you: Apricot and Jasmine; and the body feeling after drinking in one word: relaxed.
The dry leaves in my rinsed and warm teapot smell like the combination of dried apricots and the bark of a camphor tree. I took 6 g for 100 ml water. My first 1-3 infusions were fruity with a subtle trace of aged orange peel. It was a little dry after swallowing. 4-6 infusions were the most enjoyable to my taste, very fruity with an additional Jasmine floweriness that was not in the first 3 infusions. The tea liquid slid down my throat smooth and gentle, no obvious dryness to be felt at this point.
The first 1-3 infusions offered me a complex combination of flavors while the 4-6 infusions offered caring, soothing sensation like a feather wing caressing your inner body.
The liquid colour changed from cognac-like gold to pale orange at infusion 7-8. The taste started to thin out and has become simply fruity and sweet.
After 8 infusions of this 2009 Mengla, I felt light, relaxed overall and minty in air passage and chest. This feeling is what I expect from a good aged (semi-aged) tea.
