I am now officially a cheap tea date. 2.5p/g & i’m devouring this like its going out of fashion. Its fruity & old & dank & spicy (like mince pies)… has a slightly tongue numbing sour note, sweet… just so much win for so little wonga.
I mean you just open the bag & inhale the goodness. It’s a bit like the sweet part of a christmas cake or a pack of dates has been transformed into a boggy leafy mess. Raisins? yeah something like that. There is old wet mud in there but because of the fruity flavours it just tastes of win.
Love it.
It does leave me a little confused though – this seems to be closer in flavour to an aged sheng than any 2012 shou could ever be….? I wonder why that is

Mmm, sounds good! I’ve been wanting to try some more hei cha, they’ve been hit or miss for me though
This one is win from bag to mouth, there is some interesting aromas from my heicha order, that’s for sure
Interesting notes. Heicha was my door to pu’er, oddly enough. Once I found pu’er that I loved, I put my heicha aside to age, which I suppose is the right thing to do. Most of my stuff tastes of medicinal, sweet leaf pile and soil. I’m hoping it will reveal some nuances as it ages.
