This is a really interesting tea, pretty much unlike anything I’ve had
Dry leaves: Feel super feel super fresh and soft. They have a pineapple top shape and white, velvety skin.
Brewing: The leaves expand just a little bit, but retain their shape. The tea is the lightest colored brew I’ve seen, almost like water.
Taste: Very light with no bitterness at all. Hints of honeysuckle, green peppercorn, and fresh-cut leaves over an underlying note of fresh hay. This tea reminds me slightly of rosewater, and has a unique combination of fresh, earthy, and floral flavors.
Reminds me of: Trimming a gardenia bush on an damp, overcast day

I love this type of puerh although I’ve run into many people who don’t get it at all. It’s unlike anything else! The one I have is a little piney in a good way but your green peppercorn description makes sense too. I always think of diving in an alpine lake with sweet water when I drink this Puerh. I like it hot and I’ve tried it cold which is good too.
Seems like it would be really refreshing iced, I’ll have to try that :)
