This tea as part of a one brew sized sample does not come off as too impressive at the moment. It is not bitter or harsh to say but it comes off as tasting a bit flat. I’m do not know enough about sheng puerh to know if this is the normal awkward stage between young sheng and aged sheng where it needs to be set aside to age more or if it is just a bad tea that sat around for 6 years.

Amy I never ordered from Mandala tea, this was a free sample from Puerh Shop. I have looked over Mandala tea’s puerh selection and I might place an order from them in the future but I just placed a large puerh order with Puerh Shop so I will not be needing any more puerh for some time.
