I'm relatively new tp Pu-erh, but recently I've tried at least 25 different kinds from across Yunnan Province, and the Six Famous Tea Mountains. Each has its unique flavor, changing slowly through multiple steepings.This particular tea is my favorite "Sheng" or raw tea from Bana. Flavorful from the first through 6-8 steepings, holding a balanced bitter/sweet flaver so enjoyable to me. I think I'll get an extra cake and see if I can keep out of it to age it for a decade or so! Looking at the spent leaves in my gaiwan, this cake seems to be made of high quality materials, carefully handled from harvest to my doorstep.
A previous review said that this tastes like green tea. Yes, a very refreshing green tea, which is what raw Puer is, I believe. This particular tea tastes slightly fruity rather than just "green", and the flavors stand up to repeated brewing: 9 or 10 (small, Chinese) cups. It's great as iced tea, too.I've had really good pu erh tea and this does not taste like it at all. It tastes and looks more like green tea. Although it tasted decent, I was expecting something that did not taste so much like green tea. Alot of vendors are jumping on the pu erh bandwagon charging customers alot of money making them think it's pu erh. I do not believe this is 100% pu erh as stated in the description.
