A Quick Parade, 2010 Classic Red Ripe Puerh

The 2010 Classic Red is among a slew of revolutionary productions from no-name companies.  They range from down and dirty to dirty-dirty down and dirty.  What I mean here by dirty is really thickness.  Most all of these productions are garish in their unctuousness.  The 2010 Classic Red is no exception, so what makes it noteworthy?

It isn’t difficult.  It is in a most moderately pressed brick which airs out and breaks apart easily.  The air has allowed the processing to dissipate.  The water soaks the leaves easily.  The second and third flash infusions are the richest.  Gives a full mouthfeel, numbing, sweet, those notes of some kind of dried fruit, possibly cherry.  Very chocolately.  It’s like a quick parade through a small town where they throw chocolates to the eager crowd, vanishing as quickly as it appeared.

Still, there’s the tingle that’s left in the mouth.  A satisfaction in the gut.  It’s richer, thicker, sweeter than most but doesn’t last nearly as long either.  I can’t imagine much beyond six infusions, with the last being about two min.  The mouth zing lasts throughout and in the mouth a good five minutes.
