Had this one today. What stood out was the creaminess of it. I only had a few infusions but they were all good. No bitterness. Smooth and creamy with a bit of sweetness. Also a nice stone fruit taste with a bit of sourness. The sour note was not unpleasant at all. In fact quite nice, adding a new dimension to the tea.

is it like citrusy?
I didn’t get any citrus notes but the stone fruit notes were a bit different than other shengs. Apricot seems to be a common note with some shengs but this one was not quite apricot. I couldn’t really describe it so I just said it was stone fruit.
I really like the flavour of purple teas. It took me a while to get my head around the complexity but I love them now
I liked this one right away and would consider buying a cake (only $8 for 100g) but I have too many teas right now. I’ll just put it on my wish list in my Yunnan Sourcing account.
haha the ever growing wishlist …
It is getting pretty big!
Is Purple pu-erh really Camellia Sinensis? The leaf just not look right and the taste is not like tea either. The taste is good, definitely no complain about the taste. I did not have the exactly same brand as your though.
