This tea is really quite good. There is little bitterness. A sweet character to this tea. Like the Yunnan Sourcing description says it has a light floral character and is slightly astringent. This cake was a bargain at only $24. Despite the description saying this was wet stored, I didn’t taste any notes of wet wood or mustiness at all. It was certainly cleanly stored if it was wet stored.
I steeped this ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 8g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min. The tea was not finished at ten steeps. I’m sure I could have gotten another five or six steeps out of the tea had I wanted to continue.

I really like it. This storage is Guangdong dry. It has a clean taste. Every time I see Guangdong storage I always grab a sample or a cake.
It was really good. No wet wood which I am not fond of.
I agree with both of you. Hard to beat for the exceedingly low price. Proper sized cake too. Would be something absurd like $13 for a 200g cake.
Yes this tea was a bargain price for something this good.
