Dry leaves smell rich and sticky sweet like dried fruits such as prunes, figs, and raisins. Wet leaf smell is that of hay and and earthy scents. This raw puerh had a relaxing effect on me. It can be mild, sweet and earthy with hay scent and taste and no bitterness and astringent qualities, or it can be pushed in longer steeps to produce a strong bitter tea with a tingling mouth feel, a spiciness that is not so much a flavor note as a feeling.
