This is an aged tea from Vietnam, composed of large leaves and stems, already matured for thirty years! Aromas of leather and wood (root) emerge from the multi-hued brew. Its liquor, lively and dark, has a mineral (stone) aspect from the first cup and the finish combines an exhilarating aniseed fragrance.

The last tea from my box of teas from my Tea Sister Sil.
This will mark the first time since Sil & I first started trading teas that I actually don’t have anything in my collection from her, although for now that is a good thing, as I’m still working on getting my numbers down.
So I’ve actually been avoiding this one, LOL. I know that some people really prize these old teas, but I’ve concluded that I tend to like a fresher kind of taste. This one is ‘essence of an old root cellar’, earthy, musty, with a mineral element. It wasn’t totally undrinkable, and actually I ran it through several rounds before I’d finally had enough. I will say that it made for a substantial dark brew, a deep amber color, but definitely not something I’d want to keep around in my collection.
So i laughed a lot when i found this one from omgsrsly in my bag of goodies. Both her and dexter couldn’t drink this one so they sent it along to me. I of course, have saved some so that i can send it along to my tea sister for fun! To be fair, this one doesn’t hit quite the wrong note with me as it did omg and dex. To me, this smelled like carrots that are just starting to go bad. Not sure why it was specifically carrots, but that was my view. This is a really….weird tasting puerh. I haven’t tasted anything like this one before, but i also didn’t hate it straight up. it was just weird.
I am so sorry I sent this to you without trying, Dex. OMG this is terrible.
6th rinse and it’s not drinkable at all. Smells and tastes like wet rotting leaves in the forest. Not that I’ve eaten wet rotting leaves out from under a log, but you get the idea.
This is seriously disappointing.
I’m going back to my moonlight cake.
No worries – I’ve sent out tea without trying them. This is something I THOUGHT I was interested in – now I KNOW I’m not. :))
hahahahaha
Sil, it’s in your box now. O:D (That’s me looking angelic…)
Oh this sounds like very wet stored Pu! lol
Ick! I’m making a note to myself to avoid really old wet stored stuff.
watch me love it.
Then more power to you, Sil!
I can solve that problem for you bwahahaha
Also, i’m with you on the old teas…unless it’s a puerh.
right…. on the puerh comment!
I’m ok with not sending a box for awhile… but if you do, vengeance will be mine! ;)
