This tea cake is made entirely from Spring 2012 material from Ba Da mountain. It has been aged in Menghai for two years and so it now produces a golden-colored liquor that is fragrant and slightly citrusy with an astringent aftertaste that mellows into a subtle sweetness. Bitter yet refreshing!
Sen Zhi Kui （森之馈）, meaning ‘Gift of the Forest’, is a small label that is passionate about producing great tasting teas with distinct characteristics.
An inexpensive raw pu-erh tea which is ready for drinking now or could be stored for further developments in complexity.

After reading the vendor description I think I am ready to go. I picked off 9 grams and broke out the Yixing for this one. dry leaf looks nice and there is no “heavy” compression on this one which means it will age faster. A 5 second rinse and an almost damp hay aroma to it. First steep 10 seconds and it brews a nice darker yellow brew. It has a bit of an edge to it without being too harsh. It has a light floral semi-sweet note that coats the mouth and tongue with some viscosity to it. It does bring for a sweet honey plum note at the end. I still think it has room to grow but should turn out well.
Flavors: Hay, Honey
It gets a little more astringent as it cools in the cup.
I wish I could drink puerh in the evening but the caffeine keeps me awake!
Yeah sometimes I drink it too late at night myself.
no caffeine after dinnertime for me!
I revisited this one while serving it to friends. I was surprised by how much sweeter and richer it became after just 8 months of storage.
tanluwils I think I need to revisit this one. Thanks for the update.
Yeah, that’s what I love about sheng. They keep transforming in ways that are still mysterious to me.
Change is good sometimes!
