Mid 1970 Bao Zhong

It  has been a long time since I posted on my English blog. I think this has been the longest pause I took  here. Yet I haven’t stopped blogging. On the Romanian version  I post almost weekly. I also have a twitter account where I often post almost any tea I drink. If you are not a twitter fan, you may want to check my facebook profile or my google plus one. So please stay in contact there if you want.

It has been a very busy period.  In this period, I was gone for almost one month in Barcelona, where I met the wonderful people at Tetereria,  a teashop that will have it’s own post here soon,  I  got married  and celebrated my birthday not so long ago.

To sum all this I opened a old tea purchased from Stephane.  A baozhong from Wenshan, Taiwan. This tea is older even than all the puerhs I had so far.  Mid 1970. A great teacher but a very easy to brew tea.

You can really feel the age of the tea, but in a very different way than for a puerh tea. The taste and aroma are also very complex and the liquor, almost like a cream. The aftertaste stays really a long time.  The tea left a deep impression on me.
