From white2tea

Grandpa’s was hand pressed in 2017.

Named after the term coined by blogger Marshaln – our Grandpa’s ripe Puer tea is an 8 gram ball that is meant to be tossed into a cup, mug, or thermos and brewed with very little attention. Just add boiling water and enjoy. The Grandpa’s has a smooth body and a classic Menghai character.

This is a relatively nice shou with a lot of fermentation flavor. It was initially sweet until the tea opened up. After this there was a bittersweet note for several steeps, bittersweet dark chocolate I think you could say. Then it evolved into a sweet note. Perhaps the word fruity describes it but I cannot pin it down specifically. It was quite enjoyable.

I steeped this twelve times in a 110ml teapot with 8gleaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 mini, and 2 minutes.
