Got this tea a while ago along with a order from Yunnan sourcing, was able to try this a couple of times because of the generous sample sizes, I believe it was around 25g or so. I felt it would be a good tea to try as I have not had many lightly fermented shou pu’erh and I definitely don’t regret trying this one.
I knew it would have more of a raw taste and less of the wo dui as its not as fermented and it also has a bit of age to it. The tea brewed up nice and dark and a bit thick, it smelled like most other pu’erh but after the first sip I picked up a really pleasant sour/bitter taste which seemed to linger around for quite a while. It also had some really nice sweetness which is something I really enjoy in a pu’erh, I was also able to get a good amount of steeps from this tea. I would definitely recommend this tea for anything that might be looking for a different tasting shou pu’erh
Flavors: Bitter, Pleasantly Sour, Sour, Wood
Good to see you!
Thanks man, still been drinking quite a lot of tea every day. Currently going through quite a bit of sample so I thought it would be great time to start reviewing more teas.
Great review
