The brewing for this Pu-ehr is normally short, but the flavors are very rich, even at the 4th and the 5th seep.
The price here undeniably still ugly for me (but not unreasonable for a tea of this age) but this has an amazing creaminess and sweetness at the back that are just so enjoyable and balance the earthy and wood notes of many ripes this age. There's also a pungency and extremely enjoyable lingering aftertaste with vanilla and dark fruity sweetness. It comes across as so much more youthful than many ripes a decade younger that merely taste like drinking ancient library books. This appears to have only reaped the best elements of age with very clean, light and earthy mushroom notes and woodiness but not in a way that dominates where the tea has started from.
I am a novice when it comes to tea, but out of the pu-erh teas that I have tried in this price range, this is my absolute favourite. It's comforting and easy to like, while some pu-erh teas can be a little too bitter for me. The description given here matched my experience.
great taste, quick delivery
