Thanks to JC for sending me this one, I don’t have a ton of experience with drinking Liu-Ans, this is only the second one I have ever had! Regardless I decided to steep this in the Yixing teapot I have for shus and there is a lot of similarity to a shu pu-erh, this tea seems to me to have a slight coffee bean aroma and flavor with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Pretty interesting but I don’t know if I would buy it and I have no idea how to rate it so I’ll leave that off for now…
Liu-An 100g basket, 1999 production.
Pu-erh Tea by The Phoenix Collection
This tea is technically not a puerh. But it has similarities in the production process and gets most of its aroma from the post-fermentation process. Its commonly described as having ripe/raw puerh properties. This tea was aged in a man made cave by David Lee Hoffman.
