Thank you to the good tea friend who provided this sample. This is a tasty ripe tea that has completely cleared. I couldn’t detect any fermentation flavor in it. It had clearly been wet stored at some point. There was a minimal amount of wet storage taste to this tea, but certainly not enough to bother me. This tea seems to have some chi to it, an energizing chi. It has filled me with energy more than the caffeine in the tea would do. I am almost tea drunk from this tea. Drank this in my new tea cup gifted to me by a good tea friend.
I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 10g leaf and boiling water. I ave 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, and 1 min. This tea was hardly finished at ten steeps. If I wasn’t at my caffeine limit I would give it a few more steeps. This tea will go on my list of teas to get sometime next year when I finally put in an order with puerh sk.
Flavors: Sweet, Wet Wood
Finished the last cup of this and I am actually tea drunk. I can’t remember the last time this happened. Even the famed Naka had no effect on me.
