A super interesting tea!
The dry leaves are huge! 50 grams came in the larger sized bag that normally fits 100. They’re purple and green and black and red with a musty aroma of pine and ripe fruit.
Brewing it up you get a warm yellow liquid with a floral aroma. There’s a fruity taste like peaches and white grapes, and slightly medicinal like pine and mint. It’s a soft and mellow brew that reminds me of fresh clothes out of the dryer. The taste is similar to YS’s Sundried Purple Buds but overall more enjoyable for me. The wet leaves are olive green to light brown with lots of bud sets.
Flavors: Floral, Mint, Peach, Pine, White Grapes

This has received some good reviews. Have you tried the Dehong purple raw pu’er? How would you compare the two?
I do have a purple Dehong brick! The raw puerh is much more bitter and powerful and medicinal tasting. This is more mellow and fruity, sort of like a purple Dehong sheng crossed with Bai Mudan
Nice! I do wish I had purchased that while it was on sale. But, I now have too much tea and am only purchasing things I’m only purchasing items I’m crazy about. This does seem like a curious tea!
How long did it take for this tea to sell out last year, because Scott told me that this will be in stock soon, and I will be traveling in a little bit, so I was wondering if I will have time to buy it when I get back (after 3 months).
I’m not sure, I think it might have sold out pretty quick though
