I picked up a Dry leaves smell of dark woody odours.
First infusion has a woody icing sugar taste there is a
strong nutty finish in the mouth with layers of wood and a few layers of sweet
icing sugar. The mouthfeeling is silky.
The second infusion has a layers sweet nutty then almost
cherry taste with pops of sweet cherry and icing sugar layers over a base of
deep dark woody tastes. It makes the
mouth salivate. Nice euphoria feeling
early in the session. The cooled down
cup of tea is darker woodier layers with nutty sweetness first then fait
cooling and some icing sugar layers.
Nice silky feeling with distant not really bitterness.
The third infusion has a sour woody layered onset with a
nutty woody chestnut type of taste there are fainter cherry tastes and some
faint coco tastes a well. There is faint
cooling and a returning creamy icing sugar and cherry finish. Nice lubricating oily feeling with some faint
dry coating underneath. A slow to appear
very distant bitterness lingers at the end.
The coco taste lingers in the mouth along with a intermittently
appearing cherry and some background icing sugar. Nice mild euphoria feeling.
The fourth infusion was left to cool and has a nutty
hazelnut sweetness with layers of darker woods.
There is a bit of cooling then some dark cherry taste mixed with coco
with some returning saliva producing.
The taste has a nice richness to it with nutty tastes, woody tastes,
fruity and surgar tastes. Moderately
oily texture with some dryness underneath .
Mild happy euphoria is building up.
Lingering background faint bitterness.
6th is left to cool and has this nutty, dark
layered woody with emerging coco and faint dark cherry with some lesser cooling
as the tighter mouthfeeling reveals itself and the mid-throat opens. A long icing sugar sweetness lingers with
hints at sour fruit faint coco woods.
Layered and complex taste with a strong wave of stupefying Qi building
now with warming feeling- face warm.
Nice tidal wave of Qi hits hard and the chest expands and heart races. There’s
the sneak attack, right there!
7th is left to cool and gives off a sweet sugar
and woody coco taste with distant bitterness.
There is a nice oilier feeling and slight tugging mouthfeeling with
mid-deep throat feeling underneath.
8th has a woody fruity a bit sour and turns a bit
bitter coco. Has a long sugary taste,
nice oily texture, nice chocolate darker woody taste to it. Has a woody tree almost vegetal taste in
there now. Nice saliva producing. I am in a bit of a slowed useless stupor with
chest sensations, Heart beats, and heavy arms/limbs. Nice long sugar sweet aftertaste with woody coco
subtle bitterness.
9th is left to cool and is brown sugars woody layers
and almost chocolate cocos. Nice faint
coolness and nice sweet sugared layering.
Nice mild uselessness and Heart beats.
10th is more woody almost vegetal woody
underneath but with a flat bitterness throughout. There is some oily almost fruity notes. A flat bitter bland vegetal note lingers in
the breath with very faint hard to pull out sweetness. Nice spacy relaxation now.
11th has a bland woody vegetal almost coco woody
not that really sweet. I would say a
bland woody coco taste is now the dominant. Some incense notes are noticeable
now. Less oily texture and more tight
tongue feeling.
12th has a vegetal woody incense bland taste with
brown sugary sweet underneath. Has
mainly a woody bland vegetal incense mild bitter taste now with almost no
sweetness. Nice slowly relaxation with
still some arms and chest feelings…
Not as nuanced and as obviously complex as the puerh.uk but
heavier on the deeper beefier notes. The
Puerh.uk version has much more vibrancy and higher fruitier notes where the
Teas We Like version has more deep mysterious notes. I think I like the Puerh.uk storage a bit
better- its doing a bit better on the speed test, if that says anything. Fun to compare!
Peace

It is so refreshing to find Puerh.uk. It represents an alternative vendor and competitor to TWL. What I don't like about TWL is that they are never transparent as to who is actually in their "7 member panel" beside Marco. Thank you for letting us know about this new vendor.
Paolo? Is that you?
Sorry but I am not Paolo. Matt knows who I am. The first time I read about Paolo was reading this blog last night because I have not been reading anything about teas online for months.
Why so much hostility on a tea blog? It's just tea. Isn't competition good for the consumers?
Indeed competition is very good for customers as are reviews post. Thanks for another great post. Mattcha blog is very useful for the community as a whole.
