I really want to like bitterleaf, their teaware is amazing and the people seem really solid but their puer keeps falling short for me. Their dancong and blacks were amazing for me, but.. well, I have some of their high end sheng still resting, and this is my first taste of this one.
This is my first really old (>10 years) ripe.
brewing in my 90ml jianshui teapot, just over half full of leaf, rested about 2 weeks since arrival.
It has a very ricey, peanut buttery, earth, chocolate, getting into the mid-session its just a smooth, rich rice taste. The lingering aftertaste is exactly as if I just ate a bowl of white rice, its strange. I like it though. A lot. Doesn’t change too much throughout the session, the chocolate/earth leaves pretty quick, and the mid-end session is sweet, wet rice with some peanuts.

I’ve been considering getting a sample of this for my April tea spree….You had me at " peanut buttery, earth, chocolate."
Beautiful :) it was really nice, definitely try only rinsing it once if at all cause that first steep after just one quick rinse was amazing
