All the Pu-erhs #2
These were little individually wrapped cakes. I ended up using 3/4 of one (about 5.8g), but I think I should have used the whole one.
5.8g, 100ml shibo, 212F
Steep time: 5s rinse/10/10/10/15/20/30/40/60/60/3min/3min
I tasted the rinse – watery, sugar cane and floral. Really liquid-y. The liquid/watery note continued through the first few steeps, until I realized that it was still really caked up. Once the chunk had been separated, it shifted to citrus, floral with a hint of astringency. Later, longer steeps had a return of the sugar cane note, becoming thicker and with an oily mouthfeel. It still had the floral and citrus.
Really nice tea, one of the older shengs that I have.
Flavors: Citrus, Floral, Sugarcane, Thick
