Namring Upper 2nd Flush

The 2025 harvest is genuinely a comeback—it has that classic upper 2nd flush depth I remember from years ago, with a satisfyingly bold body that lingers. I'm just glad to see this estate finding its footing again, and the price feels fair for what's in the cup.

This batch has that bright, coppery liquor I’ve been missing from their better years, and the second flush depth is right there in the first sip. Brewed it up this morning and it held its character through three steeps without turning bitter. Happy to see them finding their footing again.

The malty, muscatel top notes are back with that classic Namring depth I haven't tasted in years—it's like reuniting with an old friend. Brewed up a pot this morning and the second flush liquor is rich and smooth, exactly what I've been missing. So glad they're turning things around.
