After being soaked on this morning's dog walk, Hojicha seemed like a good choice. ("Naturalitea #09 Superior Hojicha" via Yunomi Tea via Liquid Proust.

2020 "Icelandic Dragon Ball (800 Single Trees)" is another random dragon ball, likely from liquid proust. This is some pretty serious raw puerh from a famous area (but a lot of broken pieces in the dragon ball).
-
2010 Xiaguan Nan Zhao is another random raw puerh sample from Liquid Proust. Xiaguan is a classic puerh factory, well known for their "iron cakes" and similarly densely packed tuo (mushroom top shaped cakes). 2010 Nan Zhao is not that densely packed. Smokey character, complex flavor, bitterness creeping at the edges. If you're a sensitive type, not a tea to drink on an empty stomach. The internal leaves in the cake are very small, shards. Keeping steeps short. Tea drunk by noon.

2015 Wanggong Baohongyinji raw puerh is another random Sheng sample via Liquid Proust, probably from a raw puerh sampler box. BaoHongYinJi is a Taiwan based boutique puerh producer and this is a very balanced young/middle aged puerh. Very loosely compressed, you can tease it apart without a pick. Beautiful leaves. Complex flavor, pleasant returning sweetness, long lingering aftertaste.

This 2005 Yang Qing Hao Yiwu Huang Pian is definitely on the forest floor and autumn leaf puddle side of tea flavor. It is a bit astringent/drying in the middle and later steeps. Nice aftertaste and great energy, tho. I must have gotten it in a sampler I ordered from Andrew at Liquid Proust.

NaturaliTea #09 Superior Hojicha is a very enjoyable example of this type of roasted Japanese green tea. Evenly roasted and chocolate-ey, impossible to brew badly. (Received via LiquidProust.)

Fine, I will brew Japanese tea in my Kyusu. NaturaliYea #09 Superior Hojicha from Yunomi (via Liquid Proust). Recommended brew temps for Hojicha are pretty low, some sites say 80C/175F to "avoid bitterness". I went with 180, 'cos I'm a bitter guy (really just shooting in the dark, I know next to nothing about Japanese tea).
