This is a nice, inexpensive sweet ripe puerh from Streetshop88. There was a fair amount of fermentation flavor in the early steeps but I detected no fishiness or funk. There was a sweet flavor and little bitterness. There were fruity notes in later steeps. Didn’t notice if there were any notes of chocolate in there.

I steeped this eight times in a 180ml teapot with 11.7g 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, and 30 sec. I could certainly gotten a few more steeps out of this tea had I wanted to.

Flavors: Earth, Fruity, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 11 g 6 OZ / 180 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
