Dry leaf smells of very peachy fruity sweet smells.
20 second rinse the rinsed leaves smell of forest peach fruity Forest.
First infusion is 20 seconds and gives off a watery insipid almost musk forest taste. Slight stick mouthfeel and faint cool breath.
Second is 15 seconds and has a hay and watery slight Forest with evolving slight sugary slight peachy faint aftertaste. Soft watery mouth feeling with mild salivating after the fact. Nice slightly spacy relaxing feeling some chest expansion.
Third is 10 seconds and is left to cool it starts quite watery but slowly evolves into a sugary sweetness. There is an expansive chest feeling and long pure faint sweet sugary creamy finish. Almost melon sweetness. Clear pure tastes.
4th has a watery onset with a slow to evolve sweet taste pure flavours in a watery clear presentation. The feature of this puerh is its long pure finish. Subtle dry woody cool breath after the sweetness reciedes. There is almost a faint hard to grasp lime taste. Nice relaxing calm with subtle chest expanding and even limb lightness. Long aftertastes minutes later.
5th is at flash infusions and is a watery pure clear type on onset with a faint orange wood faint sugary dry woody singular taste. Some faint puckering of lips and some sandy stickiness on the tongue. Peaceful spacy feeling.
6th infusion has a sandy woody watery taste faint cooling finish not much sweetness left done faint on the breath. Peaceful relaxing almost takes you out of your body a bit.
7th I put into a long overnight thermos. A few hours in I take a sip from the thermos and it has a woody dry clear taste. Faint flowers under bitter taste. Strong peaceful relaxation with expanding chest. Not enough sweet taste to be a Yiwu but has that feeling. The next day the I fusion is quite watery with some faint wood and cooling.
Guess: This one reminds me almost like Puerist Dragonball Blind Sample #3 ( D’21 MSSK) but not as vibrant and I’m wondering if it an 2021 Auntmal production from Meng Song? The Qi is in some ways deeper and heavier and almost takes you somewhere more than the Meng Song.
Wrapper Reveal: E’21 D17 or DM? Okay while I got the date right 2021. I wonder if DM stands for a regular Puerist production Da Miao but it really does not resemble this at all. The qi does a bit but Da Maio has a much bigger Qi. I’m not convinced it’s Da Miao…
Mark Turner Reveal: It certainly looks like that's Da Miao, but sometimes my codes get a bit abstruse, so I can't be sure till I get back and double check my list.
So I go back to my 2020 Puerist Da Miao and 2019 Puerist Da Miao samples the next day and do a back to back sampling with them. Both the 2020 and 2019 have some measure of astringency that the 2021 Puerist Da Miao (approx $100.00 for 200g cake or $0.50/g) lacks. Drinking these samples back to back on an empty stomach gives me a touchy stomach. The leaves of both the 2020 and 2019 seem to be smaller than the 2021. I think this is what really throws me off also the 2019 and especially the 2020 has a more pronounced sweetness and substantially more substance and astringency than the 2021. The Qi is maybe similarity as big in these productions they just do different things. The 2020 has a strong chest beating strength to it. The 2019 has a greater mood enhancing feeling. The 2021 almost takes you a bit out of the body type of experience. The qi is a great quality in all of these Da Miao productions.
Peace
