Got this one because I wanted to finally try a puerh from LBZ. I was a bit underwhelmed, tbh. I guess people mostly do this style of tea for the cha qi, though I didn’t get a potent one from this. The flavor is just very vague and subtle and not worthwhile.
There is some apricot in the nose of the dry leaves. Moderate astringency comes in the middle steeps. A bit of sweetness in the later steeps. Just not much to latch onto in terms of flavors.
