Wonderful drink!!! Round, soft yet rich with a bit of tobacco, slight sourness, but very pleasant and well balanced. Also long lasting mangosteen like adtertaste . Great value too!!!!

Thank you so much for including this Vintage Tea Cake in my order. As a Tea Drinker , and appreciator of ripe Pu-erh Tea , I am very pleased with this Cha Cake. When brewed in Gong fu style , one can parse the Astringency and explore the levels and depth of flavor.

The taste was not particularly impressed. I would call this taste balsamic. It does not change from brewing. Boring tea. In addition to everything else, a long human hair got stuck in the probe, which had to be removed. To be honest, I expected more. Withstands a large number of spills. Does not taste bitter. But, these are all advantages. There is no sweetness, no sensation in the mouth. I'll try to brew it a little differently, but I already realized that this is not the tea I need.

Insanely good!

I don't have high quality clay teapots so this may not apply to you. I smash teapots too often so I have to be economical with my teapots. The fault is mine! I have several inexpensive stoneware teapots, some gaiwans, and a silver teapot. This tea is one that I will always put in the silver. It's even better in there, imho.
