This is a Taetea (aka Dayi) special edition Shou (ripe) pu erh cake that was produced in 2018. Packaged and sold in 100g brick, this tea is nicely boxed and is called 'brothers together'. The Penang tea shop translated this tea as 'Being with you through the wind' which I felt was a little inaccurate.
More importantly is the tea itself. This tea brews strong and I recommend you use less tea leaves than usual for this brew. This tea is aromatic when brewed. I detected toasted sweet breads as well as the signature Dayi aroma. There is hardly any sweetness in the aftertaste. There is also a fermentation scent in this tea even though this 'brothers' tea is already 5 years old. Perhaps this tea would be better if it was stored away for another few more years.
Overall, this tea is decent; strong and able to brew up to a dozen good infusions. The tea in the teacup (see pix) is in its 10th infusion.
