Great Blue Heron is pine smoked raw puerh, (semi-aged maocha blend). Interestingly, I get more character of the base tea and less pure smoke from the smoked raw puerh than I did from Camphire (ripe puerh) yesterday.

Every once in a while, Peter from Pu-Erh.SK will put together a very limited raw puerh tasting flight from his own collection. Always interesting, it is a good chance to taste a variety of cleanly stored raw puerh, vintage and new. Tea No 1 out of 10.

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.

A single 7g sample of this "ANZAC" 2024 Huangpian blend from White2Tea. Probably included in another order. Softer flavor, some astringency in later steeps. Lingering tongue tingles and pleasant aftertaste. (Left out on the table, knocked off by cat, someone apparently thought it was some sort of chew toy. Didn't seem to affect the flavor.)

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.

2020 Taiji Black Label. Xizihao Daughter Tea calls this a "Banzhang killer", note it comes in "white" and "black" label (when they produce it). "White" is spring and "black" is autumn. In any case, making good progress through my Xizihao Daughter raw puerh samples, tried 'em all, only 4 doses left.

2022 "Elegance of the Century" raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter Tea. If you're going to call a tea "Elegance of the Century", it better be good. While I'm not always a huge fan of very young sheng, this is a very good young sheng from Xizihao Daughter.

Spring 2012 raw puerh from Qiaotoushan, (National Protected Forest,) 10 years in Xizihao Daughter's (I suspect) very dry Taiwan storage. Flavor-wise, it is a quiet tea; "soft power" is the phrase I often use for raw puerh with this sort of character.

One River Tea calls this "2021 Spring Laos Green", but really it is old tree, big leaf (assamica) tea, so pretty much raw puerh maocha. Laos (and Thailand) puerh style teas can be very good leaf material. This tea has good fast energy, but is not overly complex. Happily it has mellowed some since the last time I tried it.

Green tea in fine, but variety is better. 2021 JingMai MiYun raw puerh from Farmer Leaf.

2021 JingMai MiYun raw puerh. Farmer Leaf's "Daily Drinker" JingMai blend from younger eco farmed trees is a treat that will probably out live me before it reaches it's peak drinkability. So, there is no time like today.

2019 Spring Jingmai Shengtai raw puerh Maocha from Farmer Leaf. Super clean, soft flavor and pleasant mellow energy. Long, long mint-camphor aftertaste.

Thursday raw puerh, 2018 Spring Jingmai Miyun from Farmerleaf tea. Their "daily drinker" puerh blend is a soft, low bitterness blend with pleasant body based energy. Very good value raw puerh!
