Well, I have not had a tea quite like this before, and it is a whole new wonderful experience.

Rinse, then brewed 10 seconds for a couple steeps so far, and saving the leaves for another time.

Tastes of dried fruits with the freshness of pine and wee hint of smoke; a bit of pleasant bitterness sort of like a green pepper. Smells incredibly like apricots – so lovely. The whole sensation of drinking it is different though, from my usual teas, and I almost feel like I am drinking a magical potion. :)

i haven’t tried the 2014 yet but the 2012 is probably my favourite puerh to date.

Nice. I liked this one a lot – they are probably similar a bit I would imagine.

I’ll be curious to see how you like the 2014 in comparison. :)

maybe i’ll get a chance this weekend, though no promises as we’re trying to clean our house from top to bottom this weekend!

caile

Hehe, that’s ok. But hope the cleaning job isn’t too hard and you’ll have time to relax as well! :)
