Eleven years old and sampled again, seven years down the road. Certainly my palate as changed, as has this tea, although not as much as I expected or hoped. Samples are not gaining a lot of agedness in my storage situation. Dried fruit and paper aroma. Middle golden soup. This tea wasn’t all that enjoyable to me the first few times I had it and it really isn’t all that interesting now, but it is improved, mellowed, married. The astringency is strong, but tempered and the flavors are mingled. Holding onto some unfortunate paperiness from drier storage. Pleasant finish, with salivating, lingering bitterness.
