Glad to see you enjoying this. Drinking this kind of tea also takes me back to HK reminiscing of the good times. I have a soft spot for traditionally stored puerh tea. It is a comfort food (or comfort tea) for me in many ways. If you happen to be looking for younger wet stored puerh tea for storage I would advise high potency as being one really important requirement. The effects of wet storage and the subsequent years of aging will exhaust a weak tea. Weak teas that are put through wet storage will come out empty and hollow and will struggle to develop any meaningful age characteristics. There is a wide range of quality in this category of tea.
Thank you Varat. I am just about to enjoy the remainder of this sample this week. What you say about potency makes a lot of sense. I appreciate you chiming in!
Ps. Thank you also for the souvenir neifei you left for me.
