This is a tasty, warming, clean ripe puer brick. Revisiting after almost 12 months, I found it very comforting (as always). Many rich steeps over the last few days. The dry leaf offers the satisfying smell of old book leather. The tea liquor is a dark reddish brown color and yields the scents of sweetness and dark chocolate. There is a mix of fruity + creamy flavors in the sip. Dense and rich with an appealing earthy sweetness serving as the foundation for the overall impact of the tea.

This tea reminded me of one I used to get from the Phoenix collection, one of my favorite shu/ripes.
