One that I have had in storage for a while and drank before but have not reviewed yet. Drinking the last of what I have this morning. Dark like cacao, mildly smoky, it reminds me of a summer campfire. Pleasant mouthfeel that is not super thick but not too “watery” thin. Will probably need to buy this again in the future if possible.

Walnut bread, decaying acorns and leaves, very woody and dark. This shou has a phantom sweetness when you first sip, like white chocolate, but then it’s immediately gone and the flavor is aged wood, raw walnuts in the shell, oak vanillins, and lake water. Muted in the mid-palate, but silky and round with a playful, light saltiness. The wet leaf aroma is sweet old wood, like antique Amish furniture, or an old, worn, wooden rowboat.

Flavors: Dry Leaves, Oak, Vanilla, Walnut

Solid puerh tea for the expected old taste from a 1999. Quite woody. Lacks character or interest, but keeps providing solid steeps. Very drinkable all day when you want a solid aged puerh. I would like a good amount to make this a regular.
