2004 Nanjian Phoenix Superior Grade Yunnan Tuocha from PuerhShop.com
75

Nice sheng, slightly astringent but not overpowering. A tiny bit smoky in the first infusions, but it mellows out. Keeping the steeps relatively short. Used 6g of leaf in a 6oz Yixing pot. One 10s rinse followed by a minute rest and went 15s, 10s, and up from there.

My only complaint is that the tuo cha is so tightly compressed. I decimated most of the leaves trying to pry them off.
