As a way to welcome the start of autumn, I drank a tea which perfectly reflected the season a few days ago: 2021 Old Tree Jingmai Shu Pu'er by Nari Tea 🍂

The color of the broth was a fascinating bright ochre that I rarely see in teas.
The aroma was that of a forest after rain and decomposing leaves, but the taste was savory, with a hint of minerality. It also had a surprising sweetness for a dark tea, and this combination of flavors gave it interesting depth.

It overall really reminded me of a beautiful autumn afternoon 🍁

I often say while Ripe Puerh and Raw Puerh start very different, over time they become similar. A good example is this 2002 "Golden Leaf Shu Pu'Er" from Verdant teas. If I didn't see it was "Shu Pu'Er"on the label, I would think it is a middle aged naturally stored raw puerh.
