Had this over the course of the last two days. It has been a good cup to come home to after the cold weather. This tea seems to be lightly fermented. It gives an oak type note with sweetness and a touch of bitterness but not in an unpleasant way. I think the high bud count in this will make it sweeter in the future. I don’t quite get the molasses in it but this has been a good tea and it re-steeps very well. A good buy for a younger shou to age. 15 grams in the Yixing started with a 10 second steep and added 5 to each from there. Pretty solid cake.

Pretty label.
Agreed. Very nice label! I am sure its a fine tea as well.
Yeah the label with the Dragon got me.
Eight years later my friend in 12/2021, , I tried this tea for the first time. It is quite tasty. I did get some molasses notes, no bitterness, a sweet aftertaste, and good, mouth watering flavor. Impressive for such an inexpensive tea, but sold out on the yunnansourcing.com website.
