additional notes: Fun to revisit this cake that I won ten years ago, AND revisit the tasting note. Especially since realizing I’m a huge fan of the golden buds puerhs, so I’m appreciating that I won this even more now. I think I’m steeping it with different parameters — in the past, I went STRONG. And because of that AND if I’m using drastically less leaves now, I’m not sure if this puerh may have mellowed a bit. Less strong chocolate and coffee notes than the previous note. This is still very delicious. Originally, I noticed “pond” qualities, but they are not here in the leaf any longer.
Steep #1 // 20 minutes after boiling // 1-2 minute steep
Steep #2 // 18 minutes after boiling // 4-5 min
Steep #3 // just boiled // 3-4 min
Steep #4 // just boiled // 10 min

I can’t believe it has been ten years!
ashmanra, you made me check to make sure it was really ten years… and then I noticed your tasting notes for this. You were also a fan of this one!
Yes, I was! I felt like I remembered that giveaway but I sure didn’t realize it was that long ago! I love golden bud pu!
10 years! Aww back in the Butiki heyday. Old school steepster.
