Vanilla and camphor play together in this tasty and gorgeous offering. Leaves the mouth full of the camphor “shuang”… and vanilla. Smells great. Has some bitterness in the later infusions and very slight smoke in the first couple. It’ll give you at least 10 infusions and once it gets going only takes about five seconds. It’s a drinkable cookie, with the bitter tweak that characterizes most raw pu’er.
Flavors: Camphor, Smoke, Sweet, Vanilla

One of the best puers I have had so far is the 2005 jinnoushan red sun drum that I got at yunann sourcing for just $35. Its it out of stock. strong apricot jam aroma. right now I am left with the broken leaf material from the center of the cake which is more bitten tobbacco not apricot.
Yepper. This one in quite popular. I have another of their cakes, which is considerably less tasty and packed considerably tighter. I’m letting it sit, maybe it will shine, but I have my doubts.

Well, I’m visiting this again and now the camphor is straight up medicinal and has a character very similar to the HK Returns square from the same year.
