2000 Shu Pu 7262

Luxury Shu Pu 7262

It is a spring rainy weather, what lasts already for two day and now it started to snow. So I reach for the rest of the sample of Shu pu-erh from 2000 what fits well with such weather and mood. This is a classic recipe of Meghai Tea Factory alias Dayi from 1972. These are the first two numbers of the recipe. Figure 6 indicates the grade of leaves and number two at the end of the recipe is Menghai TF. The first two drinks were excellent, so the third time ...

Earthy - wood - nutty, this is the smell of rinsed leaves. It's full, smooth fragrance with fruity overtones. The brew is sweet. There is no sign of earthiness or woody tones in the first infusion. It has a sweet aftertaste.

The second infusion is already very dark, with a subtle woody flavors. Very sweet, fruity. There is a certain trace of earthiness in the aftertaste.

The tea has a very thick consistency. Tea nicely caresses and slips into the stomach.

Fruity flavor fades away around the 6th infusion and woody flavor begins to dominate.

Pleasant, very refined, very clean and also very luxury drink. The price is higher - €73 for 357g.

3g per 80ml - rinse - 10s/5/7/10/15/20/30/40
