Weaving the cocoon of tea - Le cerf-volant

With a few possessions to my name and a wandering spirit to my heart, I tend to favor holding a restrained quantity and selection of teas at any given time. Within my practice, tea is often approached, considered, and tended as an energy intended to flow consistently in the nooks of Life. A sentiment of […]

"Dark Bamboo" - #HeiCha in the Anhua style [Spring '17, CLT]

There is some confusion with this tea origin: on the package it's stated "origin: Mengyou, Yunnan", while on the site it becomes one from Guangxi.
Yunnan borders with Guanxi region, but in terms of terroirs these are really different places (especially when exact locations are not mentioned).

Dry leaves smell is intense mushroomy - close to what you find in a cuisine under "wood ear" name.

I use the tag #TeaSession from time to time, so what do I mean by that?

When I drink tea by myself, be it one quick infusion or a prolonged series with one or more tea, it's still not references as such and that's a deliberate choice.

This is like a disclaimer, that session includes some other people, talking, joking, maybe arguments - socializing in other words.

Tea itself could even be not the main theme, but I'm not translating everything.

So, let's have a cup (or more)!

more tea for the tea’s sake ^__^“

some #AnjiBaiCha I’ve had from the previous period of my life. this may be either Jade Arrow from Mei Leaf or exposed Zhejiang Anji Bai Cha from Yunnan Sourcing, but I’m not entirely sure which one it is, because the label is missing 🤷

gentle taste of maple syrup slowly descends into the salty pumpkin seed flavor and leaves a pleasant aftertaste, reminiscent of soy milk.

From last Thursday:

"Concubine Oolong", bug-bitten #oolong of Qingxin DaPang cultivar, grown in HsinChu county in #Taiwan [Spring '20, TM], https://www.tea-masters.com/en/jassid-bitten/1416-1397-2020-spring-concubine-oolong-from-hsin-chu.html

Quite note about this sub-category and its processing details, https://learn.eco-cha.com/article/115-what-is-concubine-oolong

In short: bug-bitten (by grasshoppers) medium-oxidised rolled medium-roasted oolong.

I've ordered few packs of a sample size of Taiwanese oolongs from this vendor to broaden my knowledge about regional teas.

Started with a #Shou #Puerh from Myanmar.
I ordered it from a local shop, which apparently had less than a cake of this tea - it's already gone from their site.

According to the label - 2018, #GuShu material.

Dry leaves smell like a fruit wood.

When brewed - taste like a very light shou, pretty much without any traces of a dustiness.

We coined a description - "fruit tree branches taste".

More or less just a curious thing to try once.

"B.A.D (Bizarrely Aged Dianhong)" which is described as "we don't know how it happened to taste like that, probably by an accident of fermentation". Yunnanese #DaYeZhong
[Spring `18, Meileaf]

First small packet of this tea amazed me and I scored to grab a larger volume. Sadly, it tasted not as I expected - it's really closer to #Puerh, if you strike out dusty taste of an attic completely.

My guest mistakes it for puerh every time.

next one was a bit of a trick from me for my guest: teas are very similar in their profile, where second offers something more, thus if you do not pay too much attention, it feels like the following infusion which finally unfolded the real potential.

Even for me, when I was tasting first infusion of a second tea, the difference was barely noticable.

"Snow Phoenix", #XuePian - #YaShiXiang or Winter Dan Cong [November '21, MeiLeaf]

not repeating myself, next was the same I posted a day before: "Alishan Cream" #JinXuan [Spring '20, MeiLeaf], so you may check
https://mammut.moe/@gemelen/109699884011868616

We did 3 infusions, which I think is enough to catch the main theme of aroma/taste. This won't allow you to dive deep into all aspects and how the tea changes over fell-blown session, but that's ok for a moment.

Attached: 2 images #Tea "Alishan Cream" which is vendor's name for a #Taiwan -ese #JinXuan #oolong [Spring '20, MeiLeaf]. I've dived deep into Tawanese oolongs over the course of 2020, so I didn't think twice to grab a large packet of 300 grams from the vendor I trusted at the moment. It was a good tea, it's still is after two years of storage in not a very tight sealed packet! But it doesn't give you _that_ feel that you want to from "a pinnacle tea" like Don promotes.
