2009 Xiaguan Te Ji (Premium Grade) Raw Pu-Erh from Xiaguan Tea Factory
88

Very drinkable for a young sheng. Leaves have a pronounced barn smell which transforms into forest scents after brewing. Astringency is very high which is to be expected from a young tuo but it isn’t off putting. Liquor is colored green with a slight trace of orange.
I steeped this one with water slightly below boiling point as the young sheng would be destroyed with boiling water

I know your note is old, but I just wanted to say I thought this was smooth too! :)
