There are some ripe teas that I find have a very special texture. I think of it as kind of velvety. This is one of those teas. It’s flavor is not terribly deep, but the quality of the broth is really nice. It is a semi-fermented ripe, meaning the fermentation process was stopped about midway through. It is a high quality tea for sure. There is some bitterness, but it is integrated well, with a smooth base underneath. Not the most potent of flavors, but I liked it nonetheless.
I bought this one in a recent purchase, have not tried it yet.
I’d be curious how the other vintages taste, there are 2010-2013 cakes available.
I believe I also have the 2010, haven’t drank it in quite a while.
