Very woody. Not so much the deep sandalwood notes you tend to get from ripe pu-erhs, but strong oak-like flavors. Some smoke. Not very sweet. Maybe slightly nutty. It seems like a lighter version of ripe pu-erh, overall. Interesting and glad I tried this, as it is my first Liu Bao Cha, but not a favorite of mine. I don’t find much in the way of “medicinal” or minty notes as others have mentioned.

I love tea. Mainly Chinese teas, such as Keemuns, Shui Xian oolongs when I can find/afford them, Yunnan golden buds, and delicate spring greens. With so many options, though, I keep trying new teas.
