Literally don’t know…what???
Whatever, I’ll try:
So I’ve drank http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Golden-Tea-Bud-Aged-Shu-Puer-Tea-Cake-357g-P261-/171428508099?hash=item27e9ef71c3 on three different occasions now to try to figure it out. Google wasn’t helping me find out what ‘Chitsu Pingcha’ should taste like so I’m unsure if I have this wrong, but this is one of three things: something I don’t like, a fake cake, or something I don’t understand. I would never tell someone that ripe pu’erh taste liked a fermented vegetable that was gently smoked, but that is what this tea is; which is odd, but it requires a few taste to try and figure it out.
Very confused about this tea… however, there is something I am sure about as I taste this: This tea was absolutely aged in bamboo leaf. That taste is very evident which is nice, but it doesn’t have the notes that every other ripe tea I’ve had contained. Maybe this is a unique type of ripe that I am not accustom to yet and if so, I have lots of it to change that.

Translates as Qi Zi (compressed) Bing Cha (round tea).

Compressed cake – that’s stating the obvious.
