2009 EoT (aka Nada Cha) Nan Nuo Plantation Cake
This is my first sheng puerh cake when I first started drinking pu. It has been in my house since summer 2009.It would be nice if someone on this forum who got this cake also show their pictures of this cakes as well to compare notes of it's progress.
Front of the cake
Back of the cake
Rinsed it twice and this is 3rd and 4th steeps
5th and 6th steeps
spent leaves
I think it settles nicely and started to develop more depth, even it still has plenty of youthful bitterness. It has a nice texture and at the least, it is not becoming flat.
Brewing parameters:
6.6 g of leaves in Dayi Gaiwan (~120 ml)
Boiling water, 10 to 15 sec for the first 6 steeps.
Storage conditions:
On an open shelve inside cardboard boxes.
These are very rough figures:
Nov to Feb: 16 to 18 C, RH 55 to 65%
Mar to Oct: 20 to 22 C, RH 65 to 75 %
