Shu puer "Bing Dao Gu Shu" (Old Tree from Cold Island), Gu Yun Hao factory, 2016, 357 g.

All shades of brown and red inclusions include the color palette of this medium-density press pancake. When warmed up with breath, the aroma is woody-nutty with notes of cocoa beans. After the first pouring of boiling water, the aroma intensifies, but its components remain unchanged. The infusion is dark, dense, with a burgundy hue. The taste is sweetness of nutmeg, almonds, cocoa, gingerbread, a little fig, a little vanilla. Pleasant soft bitterness of coniferous wood, bark, barrel and a little paper. In the short, sweet and bitter aftertaste, there is also a slight mineral salinity. A state of delicate vivacity and an increase in energy resources. Clear vision, clear mind, concentrated attention. Everything necessary is achieved, without excesses and tremors.
