This is a fairly tasty ripe with a fair amount of fermentation flavor to it. I didn’t get any fishy taste but then again I am not too susceptible to that. It brewed up dark and rich you could say. It was pretty much black in the early steeps but I used a lot of tea. It was also somewhat bitter. This slowly went away and I was left with something sweet. There was, however, a negative note to this tea, it was slightly sour early on. This went away too. Overall, over the course of eleven steeps in my Yixing I really liked this. It was cheap and inexpensive, only $8 for 100g of loose tea. When I went to put it in the catalog I noticed,however that they are out of stock. This is not of the quality level of a Mandala loose ripe but it was enjoyable. I give it an overall decent score.

I steeped this tea eleven times in a 85ml Yixing teapot with 8g 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, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, and 1.5 min.

I use to read about fermentation flavour… WHat do mean with fermentation flavour?

AllanK

When they make a ripe tea the flavor of the fermentation process is left behind in the tea. It generally clears over time with proper storage. This one hadn’t cleared.

AllanK

It generally takes between 5 and 10 years for a tea to be free from fermentation flavor.

I think it is almost like licorice flavor is as close as I can describe it.
