1998 Xiaguan
Posted: Mar 22nd, '14, 19:57
Hey everybody,
I received a 50g bag of 1998 Xiaguan free with an order. This is the only Pu-erh I've ever tried so I was wondering what I should be looking for as far as tasting notes go. I used 5g in a 175ml gong fu cha. First a rinse, then a 10s infusion as per the website's recommendation. So far I've gotten a woody/earthy taste from it. I'm not sure how I feel about it so far. Thanks for any advice. Pu-erh seems quite intimidating to get started in with all the stuff to know.
