2005 Wild Arbor Tree Pu-erh Tea Brick

Pu-erh Tea by PuerhShop.com

This green Pu-erh tea brick is made by using high quality tea leaves harvested in Menghai region and the tea has a delightful taste – remarkable aroma, sweet, and little bitterness, you could detect a trace of wild mushroom. It brewed a golden soup, with strong fragrance. The tea definitely has its character and personality to be enjoyed now, and it would be excellent when aged. Pu-erh Tea Brick

A surprise from the first sip. The scent of banana and mild citrus stands out. Tastes sweet and mellow, followed by a contrasting bitterness.
Gongfu style: rinse 10 sec, 1st steep 15 sec. …

This was OK. I tried longer steep times and that brought out the bitterness, that didn’t kill the taste though.

I totally botched brewing this at first because I tried to brew it using my newly acquired gaiwan. Note to self: practice using the gaiwan with cold water before using it with boiling water. I have used the gaiwan a couple of times fine with boiling water, but I found myself fumbling it when having to deal with the short steep times.
It’s quite a few steeps in and a few times I had a mouthful of nastiness for the above reasons. The last 40 sec. one resulted in a light honey infused brew with no astringency and a lingering sweetness. These relatively young green puerh can be very touchy, but give them some time and attention then they turn out to be just fine.
