Tea Review - 2012 Royal Puerh Ripped tea cake


TEA TASTING REVIEW

I used 3g in a 250ml Yixing teapot
Water temperature: 90 - 95 Celsius
Infusion time: less than 2 min

After rinsing twice, came with the 1st cup

Even though it is a pretty young tea that picked and made this year, so the flavor and taste are yet to be strengthened. 
However, it is very drinkable already.
I was amazing by its soft and smooth taste. 
Aroma is a mixture of plum and woody notes. 

Mouth feels dry but not a bit of astringent after taste
Sensed the tea has not yet released its full strength. 
So I changed my strategy; 
increased the infusion time to 4 minutes starting from the 2nd cup

2nd cup

As you can see that the tea color got a little darker than the first cup
but the taste remained soft and smooth
There was no significant up and down, the taste stayed firm but soft & smooth

3rd cup
4th cup
After 4 infusions, not much change or drop of taste. 
It has no sign for weakening yet. 
Well, I am still enjoying it.
