Aged sheng puerh from trees combining all shades of brown. Large leaves with cuttings are not tightly pressed and easily disassembled by hand. On warming with the breath a rich complex aroma of wood, mushroom, dried fruit and Yanjiaowei (smoky charred smell). The 94° water gives a copper infusion. Sour green tones, a little medicinal and smoky tones were added to the aroma. The taste is slightly rough, full, complex. Unobtrusive acidity of mint, lime, chamomile, a little black rowan. Light bitterness of stale leaves, tree resin, smoky smokiness and eucalyptus. The sweetness is highlighted by dates, prunes and hay. In the aftertaste, a pleasant bitterness flows into the equally pleasant sweetness of dried fruit.
