2004 Yi Cheng ‘Haw’ round tea gifted to me by Life in Teacup
This is probably the least enjoyable session I’ve had with an older sheng, but that’s okay with LITC has given me some of the best session to date with their competition aged oolongs.
This tea literally turned into a one dimensional tea after the third steep. I’ve yet to experience a ‘flat’ tasting pu’erh, but here it is. The exact same taste over and over with nothing to notice or describe.
I tried brewing another tea just to see if it was me and it ends up being this tea in the end. Somewhat odd, but at least I experienced it so I know what others are referring to when they talk about flat puerh or one dimensional ones.
