This was the first tea I have steeped over 10 times. I reached 11 steeps with this guy. However, steeps alone does not equate to excellence. The first few brews were a bit rough and had a musky taste I wasn’t a fan with but I was able to tell that it was going to get brewed out and allow the silky texture to show its taste.The texture, aroma, and the taste remind me a lot of the pu’er I bought in Tokorozawa.

Sounds like a good tea base for a Winter Puer latte. I saw that you pair with chocolate…I also pair in the Fall with ginger cookie. Sometimes a musky edge falls off with a bit of raw sugar. We often experiment with how sugar can change Puer. (Brings out caramel, fruit or breadiness in some)
Larsen my forthright opinions on Puer if this is common knowledge to you already.
