Tea reviews
Autumn but still excellent NaKa 2013
This review helped: 0 / 0
I'll start from the end. When I was examining spent tea leaves I could not any. There were just buds or top stems. So it was finally clear where the great stamina and energy came from ... ;-)
The first infusion got cloudy after a few minutes, which is the first good sign of "solid" tea.
The second infusion is much more aromatic - flowers, honey. The astringency is more pronounced, but still enjoyable. There is a feeling of dryness on the tongue with a pleasant bitterness in the mouth. After ingestion there is a return of intense sweetness back in the mouth.
Tea contains a large number of buds and has great energy. It warms the stomach and at the same time is my head buzzing like a bee hive :-) The tea has a very strong sweet aftertaste in the mouth.
After 5 cups I took a break and went for a walk with the dog. It was a nice leisurely walk.
The bitterness is nicely balanced with sweetness and astringency. You can observe a taste of herbs in later infusions.
Tea has a great endurance. You can prepare 15 delicious cups. It's a drink for the whole day. It’s very good tea.

Quotes - Pu-erh
„chui niu; 吹牛. 吹 - chui, to blow. 牛 - niu, cow, but in this case can be read as 公牛 or bull. An almost default aspect of tea drinking - 'shooting the bull'. The talk that often accompanies tea drinking and can be peppered with much knowledge, a little exaggeration and some humour. Also 吹牛皮. 皮 - skin or hide. 'Blowing the bulls hide.'“
