Musty ripeness, ok after about 9 steeps. First pu erh though. Gonna try different puerhs.

Really great

Drinking it right now! Really nice mouth-feel and depth of flavor. Perfect size for all-day drinking. I plan to order many more of these.

Tightly pressed so it is quite difficult to portion. The smell is very earthy with some deep notes of fermentation and the taste reflects it, it has a strong taste. Compared to other shu Puerh the fermented note is very deep. The body is medium/light. Overall a nice tea to drink.

I began my journey of gongfu cha with jasmine green, and I loved it. Now I am trying many kinds of tea, this is the kind of pu-erh I will use to introduce friends to this category of tea. It’s smooth, mellow, earthy yet clean smelling. It reminds me of clean straw in a barn, which is a boyhood memory. Wonderfully dark and rich, almost like a stout beer mouth feel, but no bitterness at all. 212° F with a 10 second rinse, 30 second first infuse, then 10,15, 20 seconds etc. many steeps possible. Lovely clean head, almost a buzz like tobacco! Pro tip- Break apart the tuo with a small flathead screwdriver in an eyeglasses set. Helps to get between leaves and pry them out.
