2011 XiaGuan "Jin Se Yin Xiang" (Golden Image) Cake
Just beginning to develop a smoother, semi-aged flavor profile. Fragrance of the wet leaves is recognizably Xiaguan, but not smoky. Earthy, cedar wood, bitter flavors in the first steeps, but minimal astringency. Nice kougan, huigan comes slowly. Quite enjoyable now, will likely improve with further aging. A reasonably complex puerh for a fair price.
