From Beautiful Taiwan Tea Company

Traditional storage in Taiwan:

This is a great bargain for a very drinkable ripe Pu-erh. Dark soup that will last multiple steeps. Smooth and drinkable without much nose.

Finally using the other 5g of this sample. I forgot how light this tea is for a ripe. I spoke to that in my review almost a year ago but I am finding it is holding true still today. Slightly smokey, with little to no fermentation flavor. If you would have blind folded me I would have guessed this was some sort of light roasted black or maybe an aged oolong. Interesting.
