GongTing Ripe Puerh Cured In a King Orange

The orange ‘container’ is charming, and doesn’t add too much citrus flavour when steeped. The tea infuses quickly and creates a dark liquor which is neither very thin nor very thick – kind of medium for a shou. Drinking it, my tongue tingles slightly – perhaps an effect of the orange’s acidity? The scent has more citrus than the taste.

Medium steep; I smell/taste: (smell) Medium —> earth, oranges, cookies, berries(?), peach(?) , sweetness. (Taste) light to medium
-→ mud, dough, spices, berries(?), peach(?), tangy, barley, oranges. Strong sweetness.

Heavy steep; I smell/taste: (smell) Light berries(?). (Taste) slight spices. light —> tangy, oranges, dough, medium to strong -→ mud, earth.

All in all I rate a 85/100. Yummy aromas and flavours. I definitely
recommend trying. Maybe not the whole orange at first. I took a gamble and it was 95% worth it. Still I suggest using half first ;) . Relaxing cha qi and smooth huiguan.
