Shibumi


Nicholai's imagination was galvanized by the concept of shibumi. No other ideal had ever touched him so. "How does one achieve this shibumi, sir?"

"One does not achieve it, one . . . discovers it. And only a few men of infinite refinement ever do that. Men like my friend Otake-san."

"Meaning that one must learn a great deal to arrive at shibumi?"

"Meaning, rather, that one must pass through knowledge and arrive at simplicity."



I will be commencing this blog with a few reviews that others may find familiar, and were originally posted in a puerh forum. Hopefully, this will became a resource for reviewing and checking the progress of some of the great and accessible puerh vintages.
