2020 Puerist Man Zhuan Autumn

This was a free sample from Puerist that came along with the complimentary Dragonballs which I sampled blindly in the last few posts. I believe this might be the one Mark Turner of Puerist was talking about a few years ago when we’re were discussing the 2018 Puerist WaLong GuoYouLin.  He had mentioned to me that he tired a few really delicious ManZhuan but they were a bit crazy expensive… not sure if this is an Autumnal pick from the same area or maybe just completely different Puerh.  Either way I had a really good experience with it smooth thinking in the mouth and sweet!

Dry leaves have a creamy sweet odour very sweet strawberries and cherries.

Rinsed leaves are very sweet sweet rich strawberries and fresh forest.

First infusion has a watery woody very sweet creamy woody rich strawberry sweet fluffy oily feeling.  Taste doesn’t keep up with the smell.

Second infusion has a woody empty sweet taste with some oily feeling in the mouth. Pure clear watery. Strawberries and cherry watery finish.  Tastes in some ways similar to the 2019 Puerist WaLong GuoYouLin.

Third infusion sweet tingling strawberry cherry.  Very sweet and delicious long cool throat faint woody with strong distinct strawberries and cherries.  Peaceful and floating feeling.

Fourth has a creamy woody but watery pure taste with strong strawberries and cherries.  Very tasty with nice floating qi effect.  Nice pure tasty a bit thickening. 

5th look eft to cool has a woody watery fruity strawberry taste with a vacuous almost oily feel.  Spacy bigger peaceful Qi building up.

6th infusion has that woody with creamy strawberries and cherries sweetness.  Chest opening calm with some spacy happy feeling.

7th has a woody rich cherry strawberry with mouth numb tingling mouthfeel.  Really nice with a spicy happy chest expanding feeling.  Oily watery mouthwatering mouthfeel.  Nice happy expanding chest feeling slight floating body feel.

8th has a watery sweet woody onset with sweet strawberries long lingering sweetness.  There is a nice tingling mouthfeel and long lingering sweet strawberries almost chalky creamy taste.

9th is left to cool and has a creamy chalky woody strawberries.  Mouthfeel is light and fluffy in the classic Man Zhuan style some salivating and longer strawberries sweetness.  Nice happy uplifting feel good qi.

10th has a juicy sweet strawberries with a woody empty taste filled with sweet tastes. More watery and less sweet but pretty sweet still with creamy strawberries sweetness.  Uplifting happy qi with some floating. Good stamina nice Man Zhuan Gushu profile.
