2016 Yunnan Sourcing "Autumn Da Qing Gu Shu" Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Nice daily tea

A lightly compressed cake with fair amount of white young buds in it. The aroma of the wet leaves resemble dandelions, young grass, peaches. First two steeps are honey-sweet with no bitterness or astringency, a little bit of mintiness and dryness in my throat which makes me want to drink more. From the third steep I can feel slight astringency and some oolong-like grassy harshness that is immediately replaced by the honey sweetness after swallow. Color of the soup is bright yellow and keeps like that throughout the whole session. I can steep this for good 8 times. Wet leaves are somehow darker than on the picture. A good tea for the money to be enjoyed daily.
