2024 Autumn Old Arbor

Type of tea: Raw Puer

Brewing method: 6oz in gaiwan, boiling water

What a difference a year makes! The initial intensity of the really fresh tea is wayyy smoothed out now. It still is a little bitter on the later/stronger steeps in a way that brings about a strong "returning sweetness," but overall the taste is now much less grassy and much more strong on a sort of brown sugar sweetness with an apricotty aftertaste.
