There’s no need to ask, the ’08 Buddha Impressions (400g) is a smooth operator. Yes, even a tobacco class production can be a smooth operator. The dry leaves release a deliciously sweet tobacco aroma along the lines of a big-leaf chewing tobacco plug: sugary, moist, inviting.
Drink now and forever hold your peace, but don’t fret if you decide to store.
The first impressions of the broth are sweet, soft, and smooth. Little astringency. It carries a thread of bitterness that can be picked up at the back end. The mouthfeel is thick and round with a daisy chain of taste suggestions, particularly amaretto. in the end is the decisive profile, capturing a melange of tropical spices like clove, ginger, allspice, nutmeg. You can smell it in the empty cup as well. As it cools the sweetness becomes more pronounced. There is an enveloping sense of warmth that comes through. Long, sticky-sweet huigan. Jinggu material. Jinggu TF. Stored in Los Angeles since Nov 2020.
