Raw Pu-erh Tea

Order came on time and everything was there. Tried one tea from the sampler and it was great

It's small and convenient for 1 person

Floral is not my favorite taste or aroma, but this one really catches my attention. The astringency is low for a floral which I like. There is a vegetal presence with the floral which I have decided is "jasmine asparagus" which is quite unique. There is a nice finish which I decided is "creamy green" and possibly that asparagus again. After many steeps, the leaves turn to a woody aroma, but the tea tastes the same. I find the layers complex and intriguing and it is a good tea to relax to while contemplating the aroma, taste, finish, and observing the beautiful rolled leaves changing into full beautiful green leaves.

I rarely find Dancong that smells or tastes like the cultivar's name, but I definitely get some sweet potato from this. It is quite fragrant, and unlike a lot of Dancong it leans more herbal/fruity/sweet to me, rather than floral. I get the sweetness of root vegetables without the earthiness. Later steeps bring out a bit of a melon note to me. It's a pretty unique Dancong and I like it quite a bit.

Delicious and light flavor. Excellent for making cold brew green tea, as well. Would definitely order again.
