From Yunnan Craft

Authentic way of fermentation gives this shu pu-erh from Baoshan arbor tea trees very distinctive flavour from others. It has a scent of old red wood with the pleasant hint of traditional Chinese medicine, at the very first brew tea gives sweet sensation in mouth and back of the tongue. This is small private processed batch with handwritten calligraphy on the wrapper. ( each slight different )

This is a dry stored tea evidenced by both the taste and the leaves which peel easily in sheets from the brick sample.

Salty, peppery TCM, spicy redwood. No dank must or earthy wet soil notes. Although it’s a bit papery, that quality melds well with the light, mineral texture. Some small burps bring back the taste. A clean and easy to drink tea. This is the shou pu’er I want after a meal, rather than having a thick, creamy or oily shou as a meal in itself. It possesses a neutralizing energy and acts as a gentle digestive.

The brew can be forgotten about in the pot and still produce an easy drink with slight caramel accent.

Even without oversteeping, this is not a durable tea. But at $0.11/g, I think it’s a good deal and would recommend for the price.
