Part of a beeng sample I got from Dragon tea house…

I happen to be quite fond of Xiaguan teas for raw puerh, though I don’t think they are for everyone. They can be quite smoky and bitter, but this tea is from 2006 so I was hoping it would not be too rough.

This has a wonderful exhilarating aroma that just reminds me of walking through a forest of pine trees. The tea liquor itself has a honey like sweetness with a definite bitter finish and lingering smoke flavor. I wonder what this would be like with another 15 years of aging! It is starting to mellow out nicely, but still kind of aggressive with a big energy kick. I do like these traditional shengs a lot but sometimes a more mellow tea is nice too, especially if bitter and smoky is not really your thing ;)

This rates pretty high on my personal enjoyment scale but after about the 6th steep i got sick of it.

At least I don’t have to worry about breaking the cake: http://instagram.com/p/yfTiEgoLWe

I own the whole cake, along with the commemorative box. Very fancy.

@Yang-chu I would think about purchasing this one but I have a lot of tea already :))
