OK I am a rank beginner, my first experience with puerh was from mini tou cha which I enjoyed very much. Now I have a few 100gm tuo of Yuhan cooked tea in a wrapper with a crane on it and I am drinking the second infusion and I like it even more than the minis, These are the ones that sell for about 2$ from Ten Ren or Ten Tea. Comparing a mini tuo to the larger ones is pretty much like comparing the contents of a tea bag to recognizable leaves. Being a beekeeper I did have to sit on my hands to not add a spoonful of honey to the mix. I may never be able to develop the descriptive vocabulary to describe these teas but as I try new ones I'll post my impression. Next to arrive should be some tangerine cured and a pomello cured, and in a few weeks some better selections from Yunan. This is going to be fun but my coffee maker is getting jealous!
