Dry leaf has a light musty aroma.
Wet leaf after rinse has a nice aged aroma.
First infusions tasted fine. Somewhat Light body but decent aged flavor.
Wet leaves are a mix of dark brown and olive green. small, broken leaves.
In my experience, this tea does not have the vitality, the oomph, the special character that good puer can have.
Its nothing like the 92 da ye loose leaf sheng from essence of tea, for example.
I keep returning to the conclusion that its more cost effective and satisfying to buy premium tea from well curated selections by reputable vendors than to hunt for bargains.

I edited this post to tone it down a bit. I want to be fair to the vendor as I have had similar experiences with aged puer in the past, and it not necessarily a fault of the supplier.
p.s.I am happy to share some of this tea with any one who cares to try it. drop me a line and I will ship you a piece of it.
I agree. but even getting from curated vendors i dont like sometimes the taste , or taste vs price. i think i want to try EOT :)
