Quite nice. This is the first Shen puer I drink (I have been drinking shens only for 2 years cause I didn’t even know shu existed) and I can say I quite like it. The cake has a rich, strong fruity smell . Breaking it into smaller chunks to brew tea is not that hard even without any instruments and tea starts to give it all it’s got nearly from the very beginning.
The taste stronly reminds me of prunes and persists for at least 8 brewings. I can imagine that one can quickly get tired of this tea if drinking nothing else, but as I usually have 5-6 variaties in my cupboard I don’t think this will ever present a problem :)
