>Ban Pen Village "Emperor's Golden Pu-erh" Ripe Pu-erh
Let this one air out a week because it smelled like my ex's dirty minge. Now that the fishy smell is gone I'm quite enjoying it. Has a sort of dry, woody campfire taste, almost salty in a way but not quite. Umami I guess? I hate using that word but that's how I'd describe it. Very mellow tea, nothing really jumping out at you but it's nice. Would compliment a savory meat dish quite nicely. I overstepped the 3rd infusion to see what kind of flavors I'd pull out of it, still pretty mellow honestly. I'm getting a slightly mushroomy taste now? I'll try this one a few more times before I decide how I feel about it.
