Got this one out of the pu’ box.
At first I thought it was the yellow tea pu’erh stuff that I drank almost a year ago: https://www.instagram.com/p/3AIuZMRYBb/
Has a very distinctive mushroom like taste with some more funk going on. Brews pretty light and isn’t so harsh. Has a tian jian vibe to it, like that sour’ish sheng taste.
Not really my thing because I believe…. I believe, my taste in sheng always has to have some sweetness I can identify. While this is a great leaf, easy to brew and consistent, it just isn’t for me.

Do you think the mushroom taste will go away with time?
Honestly, I cannot remark on that. I have yet to try older huangpian, as far as I know; let alone try different storage methods myself.
mushroom you say?
Yeah, like semi sour musk funk
ok. gotcha. only tried once. might try again this weekend.
I must have missed the mushroom. The cake is still a bit wet, so trying again in a year might be good.
