Thanks for the review guys. This brings back memories as I picked up a sample way back in 2011. The Yiwu regional style was there, making this tea very soft and approachable. Interestingly I dont recall this tea being bitter at all back in those early years, just a straightforward light, mildly sweet, green vibe profile. Furthermore I have a tendency to be heavy handed with my brewing. Being a pleasant and simple tea it was easy to drink but drinking too much and I remembered feeling discomfort in my stomach such is my reaction to most young puerh nowadays.
Thanks Varat. I first tried this tea when it had a couple years under it in 2014 or 2015. This tea has developed interestingly. I’m not sure if it is how I brewed it, but it was quite potent in this episode.
