Working this one up tonight.
After reading the vendor description I think I am ready to go. I picked off 9 grams and broke out the Yixing for this one. dry leaf looks nice and there is no “heavy” compression on this one which means it will age faster. A 5 second rinse and an almost damp hay aroma to it. First steep 10 seconds and it brews a nice darker yellow brew. It has a bit of an edge to it without being too harsh. It has a light floral semi-sweet note that coats the mouth and tongue with some viscosity to it. It does bring for a sweet honey plum note at the end. I still think it has room to grow but should turn out well.

Flavors: Hay, Honey

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 9 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

It gets a little more astringent as it cools in the cup.

I wish I could drink puerh in the evening but the caffeine keeps me awake!

mrmopar

Yeah sometimes I drink it too late at night myself.

I revisited this one while serving it to friends. I was surprised by how much sweeter and richer it became after just 8 months of storage.

mrmopar

tanluwils I think I need to revisit this one. Thanks for the update.

tanluwils

Yeah, that’s what I love about sheng. They keep transforming in ways that are still mysterious to me.

mrmopar

Change is good sometimes!
