Very nice and affordable Raw Puer.

The aromas are quite fruity and floral - jasmine. It tastes of honey, ripe plums and a hint of mint. Aftertaste is long lasting of jasmine flowers and candy-sweetness. There is some minerality after the first 5 or so steeps, but it is nice and not overpowering. It´s not overly complex, but very good for the price!
It lasts a lot of steeps - I got around 12 from 6g in a 100ml gaiwan.
I brewed it at 94°C and had almost no astringency or bitterness from this tea, which I think makes it a good tea for those who are just beginning in Raw Puers. But it can easily handle boiling water, for those who likes a little more oomph.

Quite a nice tea. Vegetal, light mossy notes with a slight almost smoky woody flavour followed by a long sweet honeyed finish. A smooth and calming cup.
