This tea had to grow on me. First steeps were like drinking muddy dishwater with plenty of dish soap with orange aroma.

There were steeps which were very orange and almost nothing from the puerh. And there were steeps which were very puerh and almost nothing from the orange.

As I am in the middle of the pouch, I can shake the contents well and now it is perfect ratio almost everytime. Fruity and fresh orange, with very robust and strong, slightly earthy puerh base. It is such a good combo!

Your review here had me LOLing, Martin! But your description makes sense when one considers the way orange can give an upfront burst with a long-lingering tail, and how some puers take their time to open up. Is the puer here a shou? I’m guessing not, but await your reply. :-)

I am happy to hear I made you laugh Jim. I think it is actually shou. Certainly not any top-notch one, but good as a base :)
