Well, I have had this for two years in the cupboard now. It’s quite rich in flavour, not fishy at all and I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. Yes, it’s a whole body tea experience. I’m really not sure how to describe the flavours right now, but the aftertaste is lingering on my tongue nicely. It’s sweet (I’ve used that word a lot recently!) with a touch of cinnamon and a hint of the iron edge of spinach, then there is a milk chocolate finish at the front of my mouth as I swallow. I’m enjoying it quite a lot.

See, a dragon hoards puerh for years.
+1 on Bonnie’s thought!
And I am Smaug, eh, Bonnie? :) Yes, I don’t have a pumidor but I am trying to keep my teas in suitable condition for them to age. I suspect they will take longer than if I had a special storage areas, but it is worth a try and will be interesting to see how they fare ten years down the line.
Your climate is actually not bad. Mine is too dry and mrmopars too humid without balancing it with the humidor. You are Smaug…but every good Scots tale needs a dragon and some scary ones turn out to be ok in the end (or I being Gandalf can change you into something else like a little fairy…ha ha). (This is all inside joking about a who are you in Lord of the Rings test we both took.)
If I am Smaug, does that mean that I am RuLong? That probably means ‘dirty dragon’ in Chinese, knowing my luck! :) I should test the atmosphere here and see what the humidity is. I know that the temperature will not be high enough, because we rarely have the central heating on, and when it is on, the thermostat is set to 15 degrees (59 Fahrenheit).
Burrr! It’s 10 Fahrenheit today….COLD! (Even colder at night) with snow…Arctic blast came rolling down. Great tea drinking weather. I started my day with a lapsang souchong from Angrboda. Already have the tree up and wreath over the fireplace. Snow days are for tea and cooking. Come on over!
