I am trying to decide if I still like this as much as the first time I drank it. It was sweet with little fermentation flavor. I don’t seem to be getting the dates flavor this time, at least not as strong. Usually my ripe tea does pretty well in my storage but it may be that the winter has effected this storage and it needs the summer humidity to perk it up a bit. It is still really good, I just don’t find myself liking it as much. I really need a pumidor for shou puerh but have no place to put one.

I steeped this ten times in a 160ml solid silver teapot with 14.5g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 minute.
