’06 Vanilla Gratitude

Toffee, creamy vanilla taste and nose that progresses to the characteristic Yiwu apricot in later infusions.  Drying after effects, with an assertive attack that stands in marketed contrast to the broth.  This confident element carries over into the qi expression nearly instantaneously, grabbing one’s attention before enveloping the body in a shroud of sensation. Sustained moderate sweetness.  Durable. Gratitude has been transforming along a steady path of deepening character, where perfume is beginning to form in aroma and huigan.  The ’07 production is listed in the Puerh Yearbook. No date-stamp, reasonably assumed to be second batch. Second batch no time stamp.  Stored in LA since April ’21 357g.  Insta.
