If you’re a tea enthusiast, chances are you’ve heard whispers about Sheng Puer. This raw puerh tea, known for its complex flavors and potential for aging, is gaining traction in the tea community. And today, we’re diving into an account of a fresh Sheng Puer tasting experience.
The Tea Club recently sent out a batch of this autumn old arbor raw puerh, and one member shared their thoughts after a tasting session. As someone relatively new to the world of Sheng Puer, they found it fascinating—and so will you.
Upon opening the package, the dry leaves emitted an alluring aroma, a blend of citrusy notes and sweet hay. The first steep, lasting just 10 seconds, revealed a touch of astringency but also a sweetness that was reminiscent of tropical fruit.
The second infusion, at 15 seconds, displayed the same level of astringency but with a thicker texture and a long-lasting aftertaste. The third steep, extended to 20 seconds, introduced more astringency and a hint of bitterness, yet it was pleasant due to lingering sweetness and emerging vegetal and hay notes.
The fifth infusion, steeped for 30 seconds, brought forth an explosion of sweetness, accompanied by intense grassiness and smoothness that could have easily warranted more steeps.
By the fourth steep, at 25 seconds, both astringency and strength began to mellow out, leaving behind subtle traces of sweetness and honey, as well as grassy undertones. The fifth infusion, steeped for 30 seconds, brought forth an explosion of sweetness, accompanied by intense grassiness and smoothness that could have easily warranted more steeps.
However, the tea’s potency proved overwhelming—even after just five steeps, the taster found themselves in need of a breather due to a spinning head. But fear not! The leaves were repurposed for cold brewing to continue exploring this young Sheng’s potential.
In conclusion, this fresh Sheng Puer offered a captivating sensory experience that showcases the unique qualities of raw puerh tea. If you’re intrigued, set aside some time to savor its complex flavors and watch as it evolves with age.
