This tea is fairly strong and fairly bittersweet in nature. There was a lot of fermentation taste to this tea. I didn’t get any fishy notes though. Not sure if there were any chocolate notes in there, I wasn’t really paying attention. It did develop a fruity flavor in later steeps. Overall this is a good puerh but not as good as I would have liked.

I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 9.1g 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.

Flavors: Bitter, Earth, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 9 g 4 OZ / 120 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.
