Yunnan Sourcing 2024 Green Mark Dragon

I received this mix of ripe and raw pu'er as a free sample in my most recent Yunnan Sourcing order. The mixture works really well. I noticed that the ripe pu'er reduces the astringency and bitterness of the raw and in turn, the raw gives the ripe a sweeter, more fresh taste. I think the raw pu'er flavour is a little stronger than the ripe (which is fine by me since I prefer raw anyways).

The liquor is a dark brown, probably closer in colour to a typical ripe pu'er than a raw pu'er. The flavour is gives notes of wild berries and mushrooms. The lack of astringency and bitterness makes it pretty easy to brew and I'd definitely recommend it to others.

Rating 9/10
