Unison is a small production of some of the loftier materials from the spring, with a focus on sweet strength. Sugary, sticky fragrance, and lots of huigan (returning sweet aftertaste), with a core character of strength and thickness. Push this tea hard and the glistening exterior will reveal a diamond interior, so to speak. This raw pu'er tea is a strong one—not really an every day tea, unless maybe you have no responsibilities.
Nectar from first light, high toned honeybird fodder, alfalfa harvest for a distant world of bovine gods. The phrase leaps from the glass comes to mind. The tip of my tongue is incense, rocksugar, a tropicalia of fruits the kind those in cold climates could only ever imagine. Perfume like muscadet, aromatherapy like a Holy Roman Empire. Where there's greenness, it's dense, deep, corpuscular spruce and pine flexing gnarled biceps. Bitterness is resin, sap and I'm the mosquito Jurassic. A paradox of delicacy and strength, keeping up with the aging potential on this assemblage is going to be a journey.
