the first one has thin dark leaf like a toothpick cut into pieces, smells kinda in a way dusty, not very pleasant, brews fast. don't really care for this one much.

the sec cake is just like every other normal teas leaf, once brew the tea leaf blossoms.

are these 2 divided into 2 grades? so next time when i order another pu-erh cake i know which one to avoid.
