Yes, really nice. Happy to have bought two cakes of, one to drink now and one to keep.
When it had just arrived I feared a little. It seemed quite harsh and dryish, with an interesting, but very upfront fermentation note. After having sat for a few weeks though, it is really great. The liquor is nicely thick and juicy now and has plenty of sweetness. The storage/fermentation notes are quite present and remarkable, but hard to describe. It’s not like the rounder basement notes of some other teas, there is a kind of pine-like sharpness to it that I really enjoy. This tea is easy to brew and can get pretty intense without a lot of bitterness.
