This tea is fairly strong and fairly bittersweet in nature. There was a lot of fermentation taste to this tea. I didn’t get any fishy notes though. Not sure if there were any chocolate notes in there, I wasn’t really paying attention. It did develop a fruity flavor in later steeps. Overall this is a good puerh but not as good as I would have liked.
I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 9.1g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min.
