The vendor describes this one as “Young sheng puerh like” but I can’t agree with that.
There is a hint of sweetness and something perfumey in the aroma. Probably because of the relatively high brewing temp, I get a bit of astringent mouthcoating making it like this.
I would prefer to use less leaf just loose in the cup, but I find that this tea oversteeps and turns bitter when I try that.
