Today I revisit this tea, about one year after my first session with it and three years after being produced. The smell is similar as I remember it from the past, but I notice some smokiness, similar to that of the 2014 Dehong Ye Sheng Cha I drank recently. In fact, even in the taste I can see a lot of similarity. I found the taste to be somewhat more savoury today and not as bitter as a year ago. Another new aspect is a camphor like quality of the aftertaste, which seems to be generally more pungent and herbaceous/medicinal.
I am generally happy about how the tea is developing, although I had to fight some mould recently after being away from home and this one was one of the more affected teas. Still, I only had to throw out a few grams.
Flavors: Camphor, Herbaceous, Honey, Medicinal, Pleasantly Sour, Smoke
