Steep Method: Tea Pot
Steep Time: 5:00 Minutes

Whenever I drink this tea I think of two things: Oatmeal and wheat. It almost smells some kind of organic building material (maybe bamboo?). For a pu-erh it’s not incredibly “dark” tasting, rather it is relatively light. It almost tastes like the old smell of my grandparents’ house (I kid you not!).
It gives me a bit of a surprise on my tongue, as it is kind of dull for a second, and then springs to (somewhat) of a life. Overall a pretty mild tea. I think I could have steeped it longer. Maybe I’ll try another infusion for 7-8 minutes. Thoughts?

Great review Pat. I’m thinking of picking up some of this soon. Not sure if you know me, but I’m pretty sure you were a year ahead of me at Prep. Nice to see another Rambler here on Steepster.
