Again a puerh from Michelle, thanks to Rich as well.
Again, somehow random choice from the box and prepared western. I took one chunk and loose tea in, but I haven’t weighted it.
It turned out pretty well after about 5 minutes steep. Its aroma was mostly antique store, lightly earthy and pleasant.
However, it taste it was somehow weak, quite boring, lighlty woody and kind of sweet. Brown sugar comes to mind.
It seems that this tea faded a lot, afterall it is from 2008. We will see how last chunk will do in gongfu brewing.

Age shouldn’t have too much of a weakening effect on shou. I’d guess leaf quality or poor storage. Try a bigger chunk?
I know that. I think it wasn’t truly premium leaf. I don’t know… maybe too dry storage?
Or I just used too little tea. We will see how different it will be during gongfu brewing.
I look forward to that note :) Curious.
