From The Steeping Room

This 7581 recipe from the Kunming Tea Factory offers a tasty glimpse into the past, a time when shou puerh was often fermented for a shorter period of time than is commonly done now. This lighter touch makes the tea more lively, reminiscent of a well-aged raw puerh.

The liquor is a gorgeous deep red (rather than dark brown or black) with lots of clarity and has warming tasting notes of cacao, spice, and wood. It’s exceptionally smooth and vibrant.

While this recipe is still being made in the modern era, this recipe changed after 1999 so this selection is among the last of the original technique.

Each brick is approximately 250 grams.

This may be an unfair review as I am just getting over a cold, so I will try the tea again in the near future. But for now, my opinion stands. And btw, I got this sample with my second order from TSR, where I bought a tuo of 2007 V93 and a cake of 2007 Haiwan.

Given the fame of this recipe, I was expecting much more. There’s nothing wrong with this tea, it’s just bland and simple. Sure, it tastes like a shou puerh, but without much positive going for it. The primary flavor is death/decay and not much else.
