I've established four titles to reward a select few tuos with. They are as follows:
>Strongest Contender:
#03, Dried Tangerine Ripe Pu'er. Despite not projecting its described fruity note, it possessed the most enjoyable combination of flavor and aroma within the entire package.
>Most Accurate Flavored Tea:
#04, Jasmine Ripe Pu'er. While not particularly complex or interesting in texture, this was the most honest and straight-forward flavor offered in this bundle.
>Most Confusing:
#10, Original Raw Taste Pu'er. The savory meat flavor reminded me of cheap supermarket hot dogs, which was not exactly bad, but still unusual and offputting.
>Most Proficient Poison:
#08, Dianhong Ripe Pu'er. The character of this tea was simply a prolonged unpleasantry, as if it could only spout "I hope you die slowly".

It took some time to finish this testing, but it was enlightening for me. I hope this is obvious, but you should not buy this gift bag. Even for the purpose of improving your tea brewing skills, the leaves are so small and ineffective that you may pick up poor habits as you transition to brewing more whole leaves. Most of them are not great in general, with notable amounts of dust and muted or unpleasant characteristics that might dissuade novice tea consumers from delving further into this world. A variety of 100g-350g tuos will be much more enjoyable and carry greater value. Hopefully, my notes will keep curiosity at bay, and prevent someone else from making the same mistake I did in purchasing this.
