Every time I drink this tea it feels great. Even though my body is more attuned to younger sheng, - now in winter I find time to get those warming old teas out.
Nicely mellowed down, and well integrated flavours. Mostly sweet, ginseng/woody, with a clean aged taste.
A nice tea also to enjoy in a group of friends not so familiar with puerh as its very approachable while also having a comforting, silencing energy to it.
Also it goes well with hard water. Today I‘m drinking not my usual mountain spring water but a rather hard tap (which tends to mute a lot of younger, more delicate shengs), and it works well with the thick palette of this tea.
