From Red Blossom Tea Company

Originating from the Nannuo Mountain in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, our Nannuo Shan 1997 is a shou pu-erh that we acquired from a tea merchant in Hong Kong in 1999. The tea spent a year in that fairly humid environment before we took possession of it. Since then, it has been sitting in its original containers in San Francisco.

This tasted weirdly like roasted beets to me. Very earthy, almost dirt-like, and slightly sweet. It was strange. Not good, not bad. Just strange.

This was an interesting one to try, for sure. Thanks for the sample, CharlotteZero!
