I liked my sample of this less than the Phatty Cake II, I think given a few years with proper storage it might develop more flavors/improve. That’s not to say this is a bad tea, It just wasn’t as strong or complex as I hoped. I got 3-4 infusions from it. It has a nice woodsey flavor, fig, leather, slight astringent – but not off putting. I’m more familiar with wine tasting terms than tea – but this tasted “young”. very drinkable, but I’d love to be able to store this and age it..but I don’t have a good set up for that.

I did a 15 second rinse, rested the leaves for 10-15 seconds, infused 15, 30 and 45 seconds. last steep was much longer- trying to wring every last essence from the tea leaves! :-)

Flavors: Earth, Fig, Leather

Bio

I’m a 33 year old female. By trade I’m a Veterinary Technician, but at heart I’m a food and tea lover first. I like spiced teas and flavored teas, I’m a bigger fan of black, white and green tea than I am of rooibos (red tea) and herbal, though I will drink those as well on occasion.
I joined Steepster to broaden my tea horizons with Steepster Select, and have already had some great educational talks with people about Pu-erh!
