This tea has been sitting around for a couple of weeks, in a snap-top storage tub with airholes. The “rest” time since unsealing it from the ziplock bag the brick came in has done it some good.

Very little fermentation smell even in the rinses. After 2 rinses it was gone from the tea itself. Like last time, it was a smooth, earthy cup, easy to drink.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 4 OZ / 120 ML

I always recommend a rest period after shipping. Makes the tea much better.

@mrmopar I’m definitely getting that impression. Do you do the same for shengs?

@Eric Honaker, especially for sheng. I am guilty of waiting 6 months to a year sometimes.
