Sweet Mesquite: BZ Peacock Autumn 2022
Sweet Mesquite: BZ Peacock Autumn 2022 comes with yet another enigmatically titled blog entry about the ’06 BZ Peacock, XH. Quite a bit has been blogged about this. As of autumn 2022, it earns another entry to chronicle the results of the summer. Autumn is harvest time. In Los Angeles it’s the peak time for capturing the results of summer storage.
BZ Peacock is now noticeably sweet. It’s not entirely the sobering whiskey/tequilla of even a few months back. The sweetness commingles with a bitter/dry mesquite and fleeting fruit notes. A few infusions in, this fruit takes on the character of apple pie from slightly sweet and sour apples baked in a wood-fired oven. The sour detected in couple previous sessions hides less now, though it doesn’t overpower the overall composition. Altogether, it an impressive combination of dish detergent and laundry after a hike that included a campfire.
It’s not ashy or sooty. Furthermore, it’s fair to make associations with kerosene and pencil shavings along with lemonene. It’s still a little bit jagged, but that is how many people prefer their tea. Comparing it to the Green Mark A, Wang Xia it is still a shade clumsy, like a tequila or whiskey you can tell that’s good but just needs a little more time.
The qi is still notably aggressive, particularly in the head. It is very heady. As far as other Xinghai productions go, the BZ Peacock is highly representative, though it may be a factor more intense. It’s hard to say because all Xinghai productions around this time are burly and complex. It’s price is certainly intense. . . presumably because of its qi and direct Peacock lineage.
