Deep, dry, roasted seaweed, woody, earthy, bitter and astringent. Hints of lingering sweetness and basil. This tea can quickly become overly bitter. It is really nice and punchy when you steep it a little under boiling and for shorter times. If you overdo it, you will taste nothing but bitter and astringent tea. While I enjoyed this tea quite a bit, I’m not recommending it as there are so many other cakes from Farmerleaf this year that I recommend more and I do not think this is an amazing cake for someone who is new to Puerh.
