Still a bit too bitter for me. Nice but I like smoother and sweeter teas.

Steeping times: between 5 seconds to start with to 7 seconds towards the 8th steeping.

It has gone back to the pumidor until next year’s tasting.

For me, Mengku’s Arbor King needs several years of age before it is enjoyable. Drinking my 2006 now.

Thank you DigniTea. I agree, tea definitely needs more time as it is still bitter.

In March 2013 we were in HK when I first tried a pu’er tea. I still recall being a 19 year old Imperial loose leaf tea, after that it was uphill from there.

Mostly I drink sheng rather than shou because of the fear of the creation of kidney stones but once a month I spoil myself with a shou session.
