This is a very tasty ripe with a good amount of fermentation taste. It was a clean taste though. I didn’t get any fishy notes. There was some bitterness to this tea and a lot of sweetness. The bitterness steeped out after a few steeps and I was left with a nice sweet puerh. There were a variety of notes I would venture to say cocoa or chocolate, but somewhat bitter. I would say it developed a fruity note in later steeps. This is definitely a ripe puerh I would buy again if I was short on tea, not that there’s any chance of that.
I steeped this tea eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 10g leaf and boiling water. I gave 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, and 30 sec. If I wasn’t at my caffeine limit I’m sure I could have steeped it four or five more times at least. While this may not be a tea for those with an extreme aversion to fermentation flavor it was really quite good.
Flavors: Bitter, Cocoa, Earth, Fruity, Sweet
Judging by the amount you order, there really is no chance of that!
