So I bought this in early 2021, but judging by the other reviews here, the tea has not changed much in five years. Except that the price has risen considerably! It starts off with a punch of smoke and astringent bitterness, but after five steeps or so, it mellowed out to a very enjoyable brew. Even at steep #10, the leaves were intact and dark green in shade. It seems this tea is aging very slowly, I’m not sure if I live long enough to drink it at its prime! So I will just enjoy it now. :-)

I remember this one having smoke and bbq to it. I need to resession it for sure.
Someone commented elsewhere that they found numerous seeds in their cake, comprising a substantial fraction of the weight. I also found one seed, (but only one) in my 100 g cake. Kind of surprised but not too bothered by it. I suspect that other persons cake may have been compressed from material at the bottom of the bucket
I didn’t find anything odd in mine. Small treasures as they are called by some. I have found a variety of things in some others though.
