Received this as part of Liquid Proust’s intro to puerh thing. Seems to be a shou. It has a slightly sweet and smoky aroma. First steep has roasty notes and a lasting warming sensation. Even as the tea cools, this warming sensation builds in my chest. Slight astringency. Vegetal aftertaste that reminds me of green tea.

Sweet aroma in the second infusion with more astringency.

Flavor is smoothing out, but weakening by the third infusion. While taking a break from it I feel nicely relaxed, with that warmth still lingering in my chest and a slight, pleasant buzz settling over my body.

Resteeping again after a few hours, the taste is mellow and earthy.

an amazing tea, yet a very odd one!

this one came in a white wrapper with a orange dot with a flower and yellow letters on it. it also has a green ring with lots of flowers.

the tuo had a flower on it. it was a white flower. alas, i don’t know what flower it is.

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell musty.

when i smell the leaves wet, i smell floral and popcorn.

when i smell the brewed tea, i smell popcorn. :)

when i taste the brewed tea, i taste popcorn, floral and peaches.

i rate this a 100 even though it was very cheap and came with my order from ali express. it tastes awesome!

an ok tea

it came in a green colored wrapper with yellow letters.

little glass pitcher method: grandpa style

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell greenish.

when i smell the leaves wet, they smell like green tea.

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells like green tea and somewhat sweet.

when i taste the brewed tea, i taste sweetness, green tea and minute amounts of honey

i got a whole bunch of puehrs for like $1.50 off of ali express, so more reviews on the way.

i rate this a 50 because it was not much of a tea at all :( i don’t recommend this tea
