oh, well, it has my kind of flavors which includes a small touch of "smokiness", and has pretty strong sweetness all over the mouth(but its not like sugar sugar), and also what felt like freshness? like after you finish brushing your teeth,...maybe mint-like? without the mint taste. almost no astringency (at end i left it ~4min, even that was not really more than mild astr).
but this was just a little leaf-i was just testing,
i got the sample http://www.puerhshop.com/index.php?main ... cts_id=293 (its not much, looks like i could do total ~3-4 'sessions' out of it)
i got very happy when i tasted, because yearofgreen has been like astringent green tea left around for 2 days type of flavors to me.

I would call it astringency. I remember reading a blog post some time ago from one of the long time bloggers (VL, Hobbes, Stephane, Marshall, etc.) about the different kinds of astringency; from a mild and pleasant astringency that induces some mouth watering to the horrible drying that leaves your mouth almost raw. Does anyone recall who wrote this?
