tea notes: Chun Shi Oolong 2009
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013/10/chun-shi-oolong-2009.html
Thursday, 10 October 2013. Chun Shi Oolong 2009. I got this oolong as a gift from a tea master I met in Yixing. It comes from some good, organic taiwanesse tea farmer. It is from year 2009 and I do not know much about it. It seems to be a middle roasted, I think hand made. Nice roasting aromas during the rinsing, it seems to be promising. Even the wet leaves smells fresh. Using my light oolong xishi teapot, long time not used it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2009 Youle by Douji. 7581 Shu Pu 1998.

tea notes: Sheng Tuo Cha 1990
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013/10/sheng-tuo-cha-1990.html
Tuesday, 8 October 2013. Sheng Tuo Cha 1990. This Tuo is pretty old and has been sitting as a generous sample in my store room since this April, airing and getting a bit of the middle europe climate. It comes from 1990, I got it from a taiwaness tea master, as I would call him, I met him back in Yixing in April this year. I've cleaned my teapot, had a new Brita filter changed and beside my daily job and opened the window, cold and sunny autumn day, the session may start. The tea soup does not have any di...

tea notes: 7581 Shu Pu 1998
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013/10/7581-shu-pu-1998.html
Thursday, 17 October 2013. 7581 Shu Pu 1998. I have never got excited by Shu and not even by aged Shu Pu. Until I have tasted this one. I always thought, heard or read that aging of shu is not much of use. It was made in Kunming Tea Factory (aka CNNP). 75 means the year they started to use this recipe, the 8 means the grade of tea leaves are larger and older and with some stems, the 1 refers to the factory code which is CNNP, 2 is former Meghai and 3 is Xiaguan factory. The third brew is very refined, st...

tea notes: a hard piece
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-hard-piece.html
Thursday, 3 October 2013. I just had a few seconds to grab some tea from my stock room. Unfolded a paper wraping with a little of dust and a piece of hard stone like tea leaves tightly pressed. I do not send these pieces, mainly the middle of the cake, to customers. I rather drink them as most of the people do not like getting these hard chunks. First steep is very light. The first means the one after the two rinsing, washing brews. Even a left over, hard chunk makes your mind happy and optimistic. G...

Tuesday, 29 October 2013. 2009 Youle by Douji. The year 2009 was the only year I bought Douji cakes, only single mountain series, this was the year I first time went to Yunnan and I was lucky to meet there twice the CEO of Douji, a very modest and nice man Mr. Chen. I met him once at it's factory and the second time on Lao Banzhang village. His cakes age very well and catching on high prices lately. I stored this tea the whole time since its production. From about 13 hours rest in the teapot. The bit...

tea notes: Tuo 2007
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013/10/tuo-2007.html
Tuesday, 22 October 2013. First very nice brew, smoky but acceptable, enchancing the melow flavour, not disturbing bitterness, no plantation tea unpleasant kick yet, probably aged a bit, even fine sweetness,. The fourth has even sweetned a bit more, giving a mouthful of sweet which is rather suprising for me, I do not know tuo's much, not have drunk that many of them. Nice nutty taste. The fifth has changed, downwards, I think I will finish here, I feel. 9 December 2013 at 20:50. While I was drinking the...

tea notes: Naka 2005
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013/10/naka-2005.html
Tuesday, 15 October 2013. I got this sample from Paul, from white2tea.com, it's from Naka. Mountain, year of production 2005. I had it when I received it about 2 months ago and at that time did not catch my attention so much. An open window, nice breeze, autumn is here, still the leaves are green as this lowland (in Slovakia) is still during the day quit warm. I like to take a bit of time before the first sip, just smelling, watching and trying to put the mind to a rest. Sipping and thinking, breathing t...

tea notes: visiting a friend
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013/10/visiting-friend.html
Tuesday, 1 October 2013. It is nice visiting friends, friends that are human, those whose door is always open for friends. Petr Novák is a nice man and lives with a nice woman. Arriving to Doupě, a Den, a village, a tiny village in late afternoon. We found Petr and Mirka working in their studio. The gate was not locked, so we opened like at our own house and pulled in with a car. Having tea with Petr, admiring his works, his new pu-erh cupboard, already almost full of pu-erh cakes. On way back home we st...

tea notes: September 2013
http://gushupuerh.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 September 2013. Naka, the first, 2013. Nice weather, my crutches, empty house, I am enjoying the solitude with a little dust of tea. This tea is great I know that. Even it is dusty grade from the bottom of the box, it can make a nice sunny autumn afternoon. I have made rather three brews at once so that I do not have to be jumping on one leg to have more. Dryness in my mouth makes me to drink clear water. A warm, clean water gives all the tea tastes the correct frame. Root vegetables notes, ba...
