I try to refrain from numerically rating a tea until I have tried brewing at least an oz of it with various different parameters and vessels (hotter/colder water, longer/shorter times, yixing/gaiwan etc)

I couldn’t get into this one. Sad because everyone else seems to love it
Yeah I have yet it air out a little and it still reaks like a dusty attic, I will give it a go in a week or so I unfortunately bought a cake luckily it was only $20-30 but I think I like young sheng more than aged I will have to try a few more aged samples
Put this in a place to get some moisture. I think it will open up for you. If it’s not to you liking after that hit me up and we may do a swap.
Thanks Dr Pu worked like a charm but I still wouldnt mind a swap as I have a decent amount of this tea.
