This is a puerh I bought from Berylleb a while ago and am just now getting around to trying. It is over the course of ten steeps fairly good. It had a fair amount of fermentation flavor and was initially bittersweet. The fermentation and the bitterness lasted only a few steeps and what was left was a sweet taste. I would call the initial taste bittersweet dark chocolate. The notes turned more into normal chocolate notes as the steeps progressed. Not sure if I would say this one developed a fruity taste or not. It was over all good. I am not sure if this one is still in stock or not. It was not real expensive or super cheap as I recall.
I steeped this ten times in a 160ml Ruyao teapot with 13.1g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min. The tea was not finished at ten steeps and would have gone on for a few more steeps if I wanted to continue. But I want to drink something else.
Flavors: Chocolate, Dark Bittersweet, Earth, Sweet
10 steeps? wow! can i see a photo of the teapot?
Ten is not that much compared to some teas. Better raw puerh will go at least twenty steeps if you have the willpower to drink that much tea.
