To me this tea is a cross between a ripe puerh, a raw puerh, and a roasted oolong. That is the best way I can describe it. It’s not as good as a good Chinese puerh but it’s decent, very different. Not sure what notes I am getting here, definitely not stonefruits as in the writeup on Steepster. More like tobacco I think. I didn’t use the recommended infusion time of 4 min as I never infuse puerh that long.
I brewed this twice in a 18oz teapot with 3 tsp leaf and boiling water for 30 sec each time.
Flavors: Tobacco
Japanese pu’er!If it’s as good as their copy of Scottish single malt whisky…
