This sample was sent as free for review and is currently sold out. It was selling for a very reasonable price when I checked a few months back…
Dry leaves smell of fresh floral and fruity notes.
The first infusion has a light fruity floral kind of spicy with a woody finish. There is a strong chest feeling immediately and more back of the mouth sensations.
The second infusion left to cool down has a spicy caramel floral sweetness initially. There is faint traces of bitterness but also a foresty spicy note. There is also notable prune flavours in the taste. Nice chesty Qi sensations going on here.
The third has strong floral oily sweet forest mango like taste upfront with a floral bubble gum edge to it. The taste really pops and explodes in the mouth with lots of oily mouthwatering over a faint rubbery feeling mouth and the faintest cooling that is mainly in the back of the mouth.
The fourth infusion has a fruity caramel sweetness with a candy like sweet taste to it. The chalky sweetness plays out in the aftertaste. There is a slight rubbery mouthfeeling with oily textures on top and a back of the mouth sensation. The Qi is felt in the chest and is slightly calming in the mind.
The 5th infusion has a fruity soapy floral initially that almost turns into a Thrills gum candy like taste kind of a mouthnumbing minty feeling and taste in there as well. The initial taste is really strong and has a forest-like almost but not really bitter pulling sensation in the mouth that comes off as really thick feeling. The taste doesn’t really evolve or change much but is more of just a slow fade out into a more candy-like sweet taste in the flat rubbery full mouthfeeling. Nice relaxing feeling in the mind.
6th infusion has a nice fruity forest caramel onset with an almost coco bitter edge to it. There is a spice note and a woody-coco bitter forest like note. Floral sweet taste almost candy like Thrills gum. Long candy like fade out. The mouthfeel is full but mild rubbery chalky feeling with and oily texture on top. Chest pressure is apparent.
7th …. Day got way to busy so I’ve abandon the session and back again tomorrow.
I steep it a few more times the next day at flash infusions and it gives off very fresh fruity sweet notes with a candy floral like edge and an almost bitter forest type of base taste.
I push it into long mug infusions and it gives off a bitter floral onset with a forest-woody-coco aftertaste. The bitterness is really pronounced in these long mug infusions of the spent leaves. There is a chest opening feeling with Heart beats and only a mild unobtrusive focusing calm in the mind. The bitter coco is really pronounced speaking to the depth of this Pasha.
I am go to the Puerist website and am really surprised at the price. This 200g cake is selling for approx. $54.00 for 200g cake. Great bargain cake.
Vs 2015 Tea Urchin Pasha (pictured below)- I drank these two back to back. The 2015 Tea Urchin is a Spring cake but not as Gushu in Taste and feel as the 2014 Puerist Autumn. The thickness, mouthfeeling and strong candy sweet taste are much more pronounced in the 2014 Puerist Autumn Pasha. The 2015 Tea Urchin is a more rounded experience with more complete mouthfeeling though for half the price the 2014 Puerist Autumn Pasha is twice as good with still lots of depth and power for aging out.
Peace
