Despite being spring 2017 material (acquired by the vendor about 8 months after picking), it tastes like it has a bit of humid storage on it, which matches with the darker leaf colour.
It has a fairly thick, creamy texture with accompanying sweetness. There is no bitterness and only some light astringency. Menthol/camphor aftertaste is immediately present. Later, longer steeps are even sweeter and plummy.
There’s some huangpian present and it’s quite stemmy, but also includes some buds along with fairly small leaves.
I think it is a good introduction pu’er. The price is quite high, so might be more suitable as a gift.
