I bought a cake of this on a holiday sale, and don’t regret it. It has a few undesirable features, such as the odd little bit of fungus growing here and there, and plump tea seeds taking up some of the weight. It was priced appropriately considering these factors, however.
I’ve had this Gong Fu and Western style, and I enjoy it both ways. It’s unlike any other ripe I’ve had, in that it’s not a black murky tea. It’s lighter in color, but not in texture or taste. Tasting notes of Almond with a bit of Nutella. A rather uncomplicated Shou that didn’t have be best starter material, but for the unique tasting notes alone, I have to give this one an 8/10.
