This was a fairly muted sencha with nothing really that great about but nothing bad either. I would have liked some more vegetal/grassy notes which were for the most part absent.

2012 Yunnan Sourcing "Yong De Blue Label" Ripe Pu-erh
From Yunnan
Sourcing $15 for 357 g cake
This is very similar to the 2011 Ye Zhuang Shuang Li "Red Label Yuan Xiang Bu Lang" I recently had. In its current form it not good with overpowering swamp/fish aromas. Maybe after a few years it will mellow out a bit, but it is still relatively new. (If anyone knows where to get the nice storage boxes for puerh in the pictures I would like to get some more for convenient storage)
