Not Recommended
This one smells like roasted walnuts once you pour hot water over it. The broth is very light, the colour of Yunnan Gold, one of the lightest pu’ers ever and the taste follows suit. Sometimes I detect elements of dried fruit, a touch of cardboard, a bit of zing on the tongue. Doesn’t last very long. This one is a bit of an enigma. Has the nice walnutty taste when it’s cold, but warm just doesn’t deliver as much punch as I’d otherwise like. The tannins in it suggest that perhaps with a few more good years of storage that it will shine. One nice bit is that it comes with lots of official inserts to insure authenticity. Fun to look at but this one is a bummer so far.
