Prepared western, 7 grams per 300 ml vessel, steeped for 5 minutes or so.
There is not many things that annoy me, but one of them are “funny” comments about my tea. For instance “You are having some awful smelling tea.”, or “Those weeds you call a tea?” and such. Today it was “You have some really strong tea today, right?”. I said nothing to this comment. Like coffee is refined drink, especialy when they use just pre-grinded coffee beans and fill the cup with hot water (not sure how this preparation method called in English).

So, I was drinking my really strong tea today afternoon, as again I was craving puerh somehow. I rarely get green teas as they don’t understand why I don’t want boiling water and of course, they use it for their coffee.

I got indeed a bit earthy, but not fishy, as AllanK says, indeed quite fermented. Following with sweet notes, quite like a dark caramel to me, with some notes of red berries and their seeds. Interesting flavour profile and I wonder how those flavours will develop during gongfu steeping one day.

Thank you Michelle and Rich for yet another shu puerh.

Haha, I get being minorly annoyed at comments about tea. When I walk into work with a glass jar full of cold-brewed green tea, without fail, at least a few people will say something about beer or pee. Glass jars of black tea usually elicit some comment about “drinking on the job” or “having a stiff one” as a reference to whiskey.

Edit: why I don’t want it => _why I don’t want boiling water. Sometimes thinking is faster than writing. In English.

Yeah, I’ve heard ‘em all at work—getting ribbed for bringing yellow tea (it was chamomile, for goodness sake) in a clear tumbler, "What’s that little baggie full of leaves on your desk?" and “It smells like shoes.”

Overall this is a nice tea and a good value. The entire brick was thrown in my last order as a free sample. Yunnan Sourcing may no longer give out free samples but Puerhshop still does. The brick was tightly compressed and took a couple of steeps to loosen up and open up. There was some fermentation taste to this but not as much as expected, and the flavor was more sweet than other things. Certainly no fishy taste. The fermentation taste lasted only a few steeps and I was left with a nice semi sweet ripe puerh tea. Not sweet like sugar but it was there. I would also say that there was a bit of a fruity taste in the latter steeps but cannot pin it down to a specific fruit. Overall I liked this tea.
