I’ve tasted quite a few different takes on this style of golden pu-erh over the past 6 years, ranging from restaurant gong fu styles to teavana’s westernized take.
They typically pack a very high intensity of musty flavors, with a comparatively minor astringency, even after several steeps, and this is very true for this tea.

This version delivers that punch of earthen goodness with the gentlest, softest kid gloves – impressively smooth.

After it cools down a bit, it can get slightly bitter, but this can be easily obscured with a few grains of salt – only a very amount will help with bitterness for most people.
