Thanks LP for putting together the regional group buy. To me, this is a pleasant tea with a light and mellow cream and grass flavor. I get some floral or fruity notes and aromas but nothing overpowering. I’d drink this again.

Thanks LP for sending this out as part of a puer taster.

I drank this over a 3 day session and to my amusement the densely packed leaves remained a solid chunk until I finally poked them apart before the penultimate steeping. I found the tea very smooth and mellow. The main flavor was woodsey loamy forest taste with a pretty heavy note of decay and mushroom. I occasionally ride a bike on a path that goes near a waste treatment plant and the aroma of these wet leaves reminded me of the cloying rich scent of trash. As terrible as that might sound, I did enjoy this and would probably drink it again, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to seek it.

This one struck me as fairly clean with a dominant flavor of wet musty wood. The taste reminded me of a forest after a rain. A smooth mushroomy note rounded things out. I enjoyed this and would recommend it.
