I only did one brew with 8 grams in the yixing and only one 30 second steep so far. This is a very rich an velvety tea. It has notes of cocoa and slight hints of bittersweet chocolate also. It left me wanting another cup and I think it will eventually morph into a sweet caramel note in the later steeps. I wish I had done another cup last night while writing these notes but I will continue later today. This one has a certain “richness” that I have found only in the highest grade shous. It is a very impressive shou.

I also thought it was impressive, and i’m so happy to have a decent supply of it. For now…nice to know you consider it special enough to want to age it :-)
Yeah when I can afford it and also the Green sheng I drank the other night. I just put 4 other orders in and I think I am going to be in real trouble for doing it….
(just make sure to intercept the mailman first…to avoid the kind of troubles I think you are referring to…just saying)
Haha! Now I know the extend of your troubles! Yes then, a bribe might be the only way out…(hmm, does he like good pu’erh by any chance??)
I love this one :)
It’s a keeper for sure. I may buy some of this and put it up for a decade and see how it is then.

I shower my mailwoman in chocolate. And I love Special Dark.
I may have to pay out cash this time!
Any SD updates?
I think I need to pull it out again soon.
Thanks!
