Great Value, good tea

You can't go wrong picking this one up, as its low price makes it a pretty good value. You have to like an assertive tea though. Brew it gently. Abuse it and it will absolutely punch back at you.

The Cha Qi from this one is noticeable. I actually got a little bit buzzed from this one, which is very unusual for me.

The taste is ...Read More

robust. After having aged this myself for a couple years, I'm noticing just a hint of That slightly caramel sweetness of oxidization in the taste, but it still very much is dominated by the dry storage flavor, a nice tart and crisp flavor, with notes of haygrass and roastiness, with a hint of smoke.

It does the Xiaguan thing really well

A typical sip of this tea on the 3rd steep goes like this.. short sweetness / richness of sugarcane, immediate STRONG pungent character, quick bitterness, mild not overpowering 'xiaguan smokey' taste, root vegetable, powerful astringency with flickering pops on the tongue of fleeting richness, fruitiness, incense, long fade out.. roll credits. Aft...Read More

er credits returning flavor scene.

This is a basic no frills strong raw puerh tea, but I like it. You may not like it though. It's strong. With nearly 10 years of dry storage this tea is still brash and powerful like the sound of a big muff guitar fuzz pedal, being played by a Sasquatch. But it's good. I like it. Read Less

Strong tea, good value

Just finished up this tuo. Overall a nice value tea with a rough-and-tumble character. First several steeps were very light, as the tea opened up. Very compressed. Got much stronger around steep 4 and reavealed a lot of strength and pungency. Dried fruit and sugar sweetness that is easily overpowered by bitterness and leather. Not a brew you want ...Read More

to forget. Hint of smokiness that is well on its way to losing its intensity and integrating pleasantly into the tea. The aftertaste is sweet, fading quickly into the aforementioned smokiness. I think this is the kind of burly tea that would probably benifit from some more agressive storage. I would plan to put this away for the long term unless you like strong teas. I would pick up one tuo anyway to try, though. It's hard to go wrong at $7. 50USD at the time of reviewing. Read Less

First semi-aged sheng puerh.

This is my first crack at what I would consider a semi-aged raw puerh. That being said, I don't really have a reference point to compare it with others. The tea is tightly compressed but opened up rather quickly. As with any puerh, there is always the chance of finding a "surprise" in the cake. This one was a hair. Definitely not the worst thing I...Read More

've run across. The brew is a nice golden/orange color with medium body. It is still young enough to have a nice, but not unpleasant, astringency. The primary flavors I am getting are smoke and spice with a touch of sweetness on the back end. The empty cup has a nice honey aroma to it. Overall I would say this is a nice tea, especially for the price point. I may pick up a couple of more for aging. Read Less
