Bought This one not realizing I already had it. Ah well it was only $4 for 50g. I found it was already in the catalog and I had put it there. This is a very tasty ripe puerh comparable in my opinion to more expensive teas by certain other companies on Steeepster. It starts out with a fair amount of fermentation flavor, although no nastiness. This cleared after about four steeps and I was left with a nice sweet puerh. It was sweet before that too but more intense flavor notes developed after. I would say the note that people refer to as chocolate was present and sweet fruity notes too. They were kind of subdued.

I steeped this eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 10.1g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. I still have the leaves and will probably go back for more later.

Flavors: Chocolate, Earth, Fruity, Sweet

Preparation

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
