A little intermezzo between Advent teas.
I was craving for puerh. I assume because the weather outside. So I did. Picked one I received from Michelle and she got it from Rich and it was just random.
Honestly not sure what was wrong, but, this tea certainly did not amazed me at all, and I do not notice anything of “good notes” in this tea from 2007. It was just classic shu notes, mushroomy and woody, quite earthy as well. But nothing distinctive, rather quite heavy in taste and a little sourness in the end of each sip.
Probably not what I was looking for. But that is fate of teas which were chosen random.

I think I had to steep the hell out of it to get a decent 20 minute steep cup.
Oh dear. But I am somohow glad I am not onlyo ne who found it unappealing.
