Details:

its been a time I tried such tea as a Xiaguan Tuochas but I happened to encountered this well stored one, probably these teas are indeed meant to be drunk after some 20 years later, also the chance these days try an earlier productions around 2000 that still stick to the old days methods of making puerh tea, drinking this tea lacking of harschness of fresh tuos with smooth aging notes, thick soup and strenght of such plantation tea, even at some point I was in doubt if there is some gushu leaves blended in, but that was only a wish still this pieces shows what fermentation can do, a slow one with no bad interference of smells and excessive humidity, the several last years this tea was kept in rather drier climate and maybe this contributed to its present verrry drinkable state
