This 2015 shu pu’er tea really got my attention. The dry leaf in the warmed gaiwan was subdued, a sign of character in a tea and often a sign that the tasting profile will be quite an adventure. It sure was. The opening act (first infusion) was an old leather-bound book flavour with ever so subtle hints of autumn spice. As we continued into the second and third infusions however, the leather book was closed and the autumn flavours really came to the front. It’s tricky to describe, it wasn’t a ‘dance on your tongue’ kind of spiciness, but a mouth and nose filling feeling with elements of cinnamon and clove. The thickness of the liquor worked perfectly to integrate the whole experience. Around the sixth infusion, a faint sweetness emerged from this 2015 shu Pu’er. I will definitely be placing this tea into my evening shu pu’er routine and I am especially excited about its fantastic potential for ageing.
