Dejavoyance: ’06 Peacock Brick

I’m going to try something a bit different with the ’06 Peacock Brick puerh.  I’m going to rave about it before I drink it, without cheating by looking at my notes.  My experience with the ’06 LM Square has got me on a bit of a Liming kick that I might explore throughout the rest of the week.

There’s this really weird consistency that I find with Liming boxes– they’re not stamped.  You can tell by the picture that the brick possesses a fair amount of aging.  Of course, looks can be deceiving.  Note the stylish placement of the neifei.

Liming fancies a good deal of smoke in most of their productions.  The ’06 Peacock hasn’t deviated, but I’m wondering now how much that has changed, especially since the LM Square is pressed much more tightly and is much less smoky.

Looks a bit brighter than the LM Square.  I remember a thick, sweet, and smoky experience.  I think the thickness stuck with me most.  The thickness excels in infusions 3-6.  It lasts for the next seven infusions.

 

I’m very interested in what the cashed leaves will look like.  This shot was taken in May ’16.  Comparing this with a Jingmai brick seems easy, so I might do that as well.
