2019 Puerist Da Miao

This 2019 Puerist Da Miao goes for approx $101.00 for 200g cake or $0.50/g.  These notes were taken a few years ago…

Dry leaves smell of a creamy fruity very sweet mushroom vegetal odour.

The first infusion has a mushroom and woody onset that is slightly savoury underneath.  There is a yam note, mushroom, and woody with a pronounced creamy sweetness that expands in the mouth afterwards.  The mouthfeeling is a chalky density over the tongue.  A strong Qi right off the bat can be felt in the jaw and shoulders with a strong relaxing mind.

The second infusion has a creamy sweet layered creamy fruity sweetness with a long developing grape creamy sweet aftertaste.  This infusion is layers of thick sweetness over a full dense chalky mouthfeeling over the tongue and mid-deep throat opening with a distinct coolness.  There are some vegitals, mushroom, woody notes underneath the movement of sweet creamy tastes.  The Qi is strong in the body and mind.  

The third has a vegetal creamy almost bitter-astringent woody that faintly turns into thick creamy fruity sweet notes.  The mouthfeel is thick and dense and chalky and the throatfeeling is mid-to-deep with a creamy sweet faintly cooling being trapped in there.  The Qi is felt in the jaw and shoulders releasing it a bit.  The Heart also pounds a bit louder in the chest and the mind feels free and inspired.

The fourth has a sour woody mushroom vegetal astringent syrupy creamy fruitiness that pulls the saliva from the mouth over the tongue.  The long creamy sweet aftertaste layers the tongue and mouth with a full taste.  There is some suggestions of mushrooms and creamy sweet fruits in the long deep aftertaste.  The Qi is almost relaxing now and spacy.  Waves of relaxing lap up against my soul.

The fifth has a moderate astringency to it that pushes out very sweet creamy tastes.  The chalky mouthfeeling is becoming more puckering.  There is some mushroom and grain tastes, some denser syrup, creamy sweet, woods, even faint smoke notes.  Nice euphoric Qi with body feeling jaw and shoulder release.

The sixth infusion has a very vibrantly fruity orange-mango tropical fruity syrupy taste.  The mouthfeeling is silty and thick with a bit thicker oily texture here.  The fruity almost nutty coco aftertaste lingers in the mouth and down the throat.  There are less mushrooms and woods and a faint cooling creamy sweetness under thicker and more pronounced fruity orange-mango tropical nuances and coco bitterness.

The seventh infusion has a very thick syrupy fruity density to it very woody in this infusion, thick mushroom like woody tastes with a bitter coco finish on the tongue with lingering sweet papaya orange.  There is a lingering orange taste in the mouth with a bit of vegetal tastes and bitter coco. The Qi is strong in the mouth.

The eighth infusion has a creamy syrupy fruity onset with a creamy sweet undernieth.  The mouthfeeling is really desnse with peacy-mango notes and bitter coco in the aftertaste.  The sweet taste is really dense and thick and syrupy.  The mouthfeeling is really chalky and dense.  The Qi is relaxing with jaw and neck and shoulders bodyfeeling.

Ninth infusion has a sweet fruity syrupy onset with a mushroom and woody base.  There is a bitterness that comes and kind of expands in the aftertaste with a fruity sweet taste.  The mouth remains chalky and dense.  Calming Qi with shoulders and face release.

The 10^th infusion has a vegital bitter astringent onset with some fruity taste that emerge.  The mouthfeel is almost a chalky pucker.  Calming mind with some Heart beats and tension relief in the body, shoulders and jaw.

11^th has a bitter coco onset with some sweet fruity tastes that punch through but this infusion the bitter coco coats the mouth and tongue and gives it a dense and almost puckering coating.  The mouthfeeling is really satisfying with this puerh.

12^th was left to cool and gives off a strong bitter coco and returning coolness in the throat that carries tropical fruity nuances and creamy sweet tastes. 

13^th was cool again and gives off fruity but mainly coco tastes much the same as 12^th with a big relaxing Qi feeling with still significant bodyfeelings.

14^th has a grassier more salty muchroom taste with less bitter but more creamy sweetness.  With a long fruity taste in the mouth over a nice sticky dense coating.

Strong overall mouthfeeling and strong emerging flavours overall.  Thick dense tongue coating.  Nice evolution throughout the session with complex flavours.  Nice noticeable bodyfeeling with ;inhansed mood.

Peace
