When I sampled this tea more than 10 years ago, I liked it so much that I purchased a carton of this tea and followed up with another carton one year later.
This is the 2011 Haiwan Ziyun raw pu erh brick. I had also found out that this was a special order by a Guangzhou tea dealer. This 250g tea brick came packed in a presentation cardboard box. This tea was made from the purple varietal leaves of the pu erh tree and blended with pu erh from the Yiwu region.
I do not recommend this tea to a new pu erh drinker. There is hardly any sweetness from this tea. This tea is strong. Bitter notes dominate this tea with a very complex woody, herbal and floral profile in the tea. I enjoyed the salivating sensation after drinking a cup. A nice warm kick emerged after a session of this tea. I like.
