2020 Zhongcha 7581 Ripe Pu Erh Tea Brick 250g

A very well rounded ripe puerh

The taste is smooth and earthy, subtly sweet with no bitterness, great for anyone looking to find out if ripe puerhs are something fit for their taste or not. The smell on the gaiwan lid is velvety and sweet, very pleasant. It's really not hard to see why it's such a popular tea in China.

Three tastes in one tea

The tea starts with a strong yeast taste, moves with further steeps into Brioche territory and ends with wet fall leaves. I recommend airing the tea at home to reduce the very strong yeast taste and have a longer rinse. That makes it a nice every day drinker at a very fair price.

I hoped that the taste would be more prominent. Its actually good tea but the taste apperently is not to my liking.
