It’s been a little while since I drank this. I remember quite enjoying it when I was first getting into puer, for its fruity yet upfront taste.
The wet leaf smells of ripe apricot. Today the sample was all broken up, smallish leaves, so it steeps fast. I accidentally oversteeped the first brew by a few seconds, meaning it came out with a little bit of a bitter uptake but overall, quite mellow and forgiving.
The second steep brings a little bit of creaminess. It might not be the right word, but it’s a sort of mouth-watering smoothness that I’m starting to pick up in a lot of sheng nowadays. Overall it’s pretty body centered, with a forward sweetness in the mid notes and a low bitterness that pops up and resides for a little while.
