I had to redo this session. I tried this out on an earlier date, but it just didn’t taste right. It must’ve been something with my taste buds. Today was much better. The dry leaf has a strong tobacco and almost eucalyptus scent. I broke off a chunk and placed in my warmed yixing. The aroma was intriguing. I couldn’t really place it . It was smokey and almost resinous. I washed the leaves once and began brewing. The flavor was delicious. This tea lacks a lot of complex tones, but for the price it’s pretty perfect. It has a full body and a lot huigan. There is a slight bitterness present in the aftertaste of this brew. I wasn’t able to get a great many steeping (only like 8), nonetheless it was a very solid brew. The qi was uplifting and gave me a good happy feeling. My morning meditation with this brew was perfect. This wonderfully smooth session got me ready for the day ahead and put me in good spirits. I couldn’t see myself buying more of this and using as a daily drinker.

What is “huigan”?
Huigan is the lasting sweetness that lingers at the back of your throat from a pu-erh session. Its that almost caramel like tone that you can taste even after drinking the tea. :)
