drank 2009 Yi Wu Ripe by Mandala Tea
1758 tasting notes

This tea was good but very heavily fermented. It was slightly bitter in the early steeps. Drank this last night and am just getting around to this now. It got fairly tasty by the sixth steep but I was so tired from lack of sleep I didn’t get the nuances. I will have to drink this one again in a small gaiwan so I can resteep it 12 or 15 times and see how it really is. It is fairly rare to find a ripe tea from Yiwu.

I steeped this six times in a 207ml Taiwan Clay Teapot with 10.2g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, and 30 sec.

Preparation
Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 10 g 7 OZ / 207 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
