From The Essence of Tea

We haven’t had any loose aged puerhs for the past few years & have been looking around to find some nice examples. Most pre-2000’s loose leaf puerh has spent some time in HK. This was exported to Taiwan and spent some time there.

The leaves are large and strong. In the initial rinse and first couple of infusions there are signs of its HK-stored heritage, but the flavours are clean and the tea liquid still retains a vibrancy, slight edge of underlying bitterness and long steady aftertaste.

For fans of this type of dark, mellow and soothing aged puerh, this is a great choice.

The last sample from my order from EoT. This one is decent, though one of my least favorite for shengs of this age. Can tell this one spent some time in HK.

Very smooth and with no bitterness or astringency. Barely any sweetness, if at all. Lasts 12+ infusions. Nothing wrong with this tea per say, but the storage notes are fairly lacking compared to it’s same-aged counterparts. That is what I want, and this tea has likely had too “clean” of storage since it’s days in HK to be the right one for me.

Flavors: Camphor, Dark Wood
