2010 Douji Pure Series "Nan Nuo" Raw Puerh Tea Brick from China Cha Dao

K S drank 2010 Douji Pure Series "Nan Nuo" Raw Puerh Tea Brick by China Cha Dao

10th and final steep. 7m, boiling water. Queue fireworks and thunderous applause. I’m stopping, I’m stopping. I have 8g of this left and 4 others to try. Pretty sure a brick of this stuff would last me a lifetime. I am impressed. The last cup still had a lot of good flavor in it but I’m quitting. I’m quitting. O sweet leaf, I miss thee already. Oddly, before steeping I noticed the leaf is back to brown and it has taken on the most unusual flowery scent. Good ending. Can’t wait to read other’s experience with this tea.

I just noticed the tea info says 2010. I am pretty sure I entered this as 2011 but maybe I messed up?

The applause is for sticking with 10 steeps. My attention span is long gone before I try that many!

Once I run a new tea to its limits I seldom go to such extremes again. I learned the middle cups were the best.
