TeaBrat drank 2010 Yunnan Camphor Tree Flavor Ripe Pu’er by Changyun (Berylleb King Tea Ebay)

2816 tasting notes

This is a really interesting tea, although I haven’t always been a fan of camphor in the past. I think my tastes are changing.

This is very dark and sweet shu. The camphor flavor is indeed, very strong in this tea. There is a lingering sweet aftertaste that stays on your palette for a long time after you’ve finished the tea. It has something of an uplifting quality in my opinion. It also has some fruity elements that are reminiscent of cherry. I am tempted to get one of these for myself after I’ve finished off the sample :)

I had a sample of this tea. I thought it was good but I didn’t end up buying it.
