This is my last black Yunnan from boychik’s generosity. :)
This smells fruity and dark. Initial steep at 1:30 was fruity and golden tasting with a bit of sharpness. At 3 min it was sharper and the scent reminds me sooo much of Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black from Butiki. The flavor is raisiny like so many have mentioned with TWMB but this is not quite as sweet and the sharpness on the tongue is more noticeable.
It’s an excellent tea. Not sure I’d keep it over TWMB but that may be sentimentality speaking as that was the tea that really supercharged my interest in all of these malty, bready, deep blacks, even though it is not a Yunnan. :)

Glad you had fun with YS ;-)
I see an order in my future, their prices are so low! There’s an overwhelming selection, though, so I’ll have to ask boychik for her recommendations when I do… :)
You will be getting some hand me downs from boychik’s sharing with me! :) Spread the love!
Makes me so happy. But I have to warn you, YS is dangerous site. You want to get EVERYTHING. And once you get to dark side of Puerh – that’s it.
