Drinking the loose leaf version of this. The first two steeps had a strong musty basement aroma and flavor, so I tossed them. It fades in later steeps and gives way to honey, kale, and mineral flavors with a bit of fruityness and floral aroma. This is mellow and easy drinking.
Those of you who have the cake, does it smell/taste musty at first? For me that was the biggest downside to this tea.

Not a fan of basement aroma so I’m glad the cake I received didn’t smell or taste musty.
Good to hear your cake didn’t have that smell, I think I’ll have to get me one. While the basement-y-ness didn’t bother me a whole lot, it was enough to make me question whether I wanted to buy more. I want to give their Manzhuan huang pian a try as well.
That reminds me, I have a cake of 2016 Manzhuan Gu Shu Huang Pian in the crock. :-D
Let me know how it is!
