Great Expectations 2023 Pasha Raw Puer da Bitterleaf Teas | Teatico
Visão geral
Made from Pasha qiaomu material growing in an excellent environment with minimal human interference, this tea has Menghai character written all over it. This year’s tea again offers nice bitterness that is accompanied by gentle floral quality, but with an added fruitiness compared to the previous pressing. The huigan (returning sweetness) is strong, with the fragrance lingering well after you’ve taken a sip. As a region, Pasha is often noted for its proximity to Laobanzhang and distinguished as having 70% of the character, with the remaining 30% being Bingdao. While this formula is a bit gimmicky and silly, there’s something to it, as this tea manages to strike a nice balance between an aggressive and dense flavour, and an engaging fragrance. While even top tier puers can exhibit some dramatic ups and downs in their first year, our experience with this tea since pressing it a year prior has been extremely consistent, performing well each time we brewed it. So far, it’s lived up to its name, so our expectations are maintained for this tea. Picking period: March 27-April 7 $0.38/gram
