What does Pernickety Pleasureseeker taste like?
This Sheng Pu-erh presents a truly unique profile, inviting the palate with notes of dark caramelized waffles, rich butterscotch, and sweet cherry jam. Hints of marine umami from nori and uni intertwi. It leans sweet, umami and fruity.
How should I brew Pernickety Pleasureseeker?
Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.
