2008 MENGHAI DAYI "AUTUMN AROMA" RAW PU ER CAKE, 500G from Menghai Tea Factory(jastea)
73

Trying this one out today. First a 10 sec wash, 1st steep about 10 seconds a little grassy taste slight bitterness. next 3 steeps tang of a green tea some smokiness light sweetness at the end. into steep 5 still a touch of the smoke almost no bitterness almost a drying taste on the tongue. Still learning the ‘sheng’ thing but finding out that I am beginning to like them more. I can’t wait to see how this one ages in the “pumidor”.
