From LP’s Aged Oolong Group Buy 2015.
Totally agree with what others have said about this one.
I think this has been aged well &/or the aging process works well on DHP. I think it added some complexity and tamed what might have been once a bit too roasty for me. It was very much on the edge though.
Chocolate notes and thoughts of coffee were prevalent throughout the session (which has been going on since yesterday – a little bit goes a long way), and I didnt get any bitterness, it wasnt too sharp like some DHP, and wasnt too soft like some aged Oolong I have had from this Group Buy. I could taste some fermentation or storage flavour I get from Puerh, but quite subtly, and only in the earliest steeps.
This is defo something I would consider buying, (…aaaaand its gone, we must have got the last one) If only to share with any friends coming round mine. This wouldnt be my usual go-to for a dark roast Wuyi but I enjoyed the session a lot, and thats all that matters right?
Flavors: Chocolate, Coffee, Roasted, Toasty, Wet Earth, Wet Rocks

Without meaning to: That group buy actually bought out a few different aged teas which are no longer available.
Best way to buy the last of a tea perhaps – being shared and enjoyed by many people, not hoarded by one
Let us send that message to the past emperors… hopefully the ‘tea ethics’ people don’t read that comment or I’ll hear about it on Reddit
I am looking at it as me liberating the tea from a lifetime of sitting in storage and inviting it to a party in my tummy
I’m all about sharing :)
My birthday and christmas tea has been split without too much of a hard time, though I was like ‘but it’s my special tea’.
I wish I could have tea and discuss life and gain perspective from everyone. Absolutely grateful for the internet to have the ability to do so in a way…
Thats really kind of you to split your birthday tea.
I’m glad of the internet for this as well – none/zero/nada of my friends share the tea passion with me, even if they are foodies of different sorts
