2008 Gift Puerh

Minerally, frothy, slightly humid, and sweet.  Has that solid Xia Guan quality which is never watery, evocative of a light root beer given the herbal notes.  There’s camphor in there too.  A well-crafted recipe. The 2008 Gift Puerh does not possess the characteristic Xia Guan smokiness, which makes it a drinking pleasure presently.
