Puerh Tea TTB. This is a very tasty tea. It had a moderate amount of fermentation flavor but it was neither fishy nor unpleasant. It was sweet with very little bitterness. Unfortunately I think this is long sold out at Mandala or I would buy one.
I steeped this twelve times in a 110ml Yixing Teapot with 9g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, and 2 min. I’d keep going with this one but twelve steeps is enough caffeine for me today.

Yep… bought several cases of it when I was in China in 2008 and sold out here in shop back in 2013, I believe. It was a nice one!
2013 was just about when I was getting in to puerh.
I only had enough to try this tea once, so I never reviewed it, but it was delicious as I recall.
I wish it was still possible to get this. With something like this I wonder if it is all gone or if there are any left at someplace like Taobao. You can find all sorts of hard to find teas there.
