2014 “Fox” Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

This sheng surprisingly less green in taste than some of the 2010 and 2013 sheng I've tried here.
The liquor gives a pleasant sweet after taste with a candy-like fruity aroma.
Easier to detect when nose to wet leaves, which I smelled red apples as well.
It has a consistent medium mouth-feel with just a slightest of astringency after many consecutive brews.

Bouquet: strong woodsy with a slightly roasted chocolatey pickled cherry note to it followed by huge ripe fruity layer of dried and fresh figs, raisins and dried plums. Within its woodsy section there you'll discover Asians most finest furniture art from cherry wood, to hints of elm wood & cypress. But there is also something nuttiness to it like sunflower seeds.

Liquor: Different than the usual Yunnan experience this buddy as many of its origins share a more purple variety taste to its profile than the usual fresh raw taste - at least the once I tried so far. But within this range they reach a level of absolute perfection and pureness. You can literally taste this jungle wild environment with all its natural diversity. Within the taste you find everything named as within the steaming atmosphere starting with its slightly roasted Asian wood furniture base followed by rich dark chocolate paired with subtle undertones of licorice, pickled cherries and dried plums, figs and raisins plus hints of sunflower seeds. Within the aftertaste a long very ripe fruity echo (or windfalls) keeps comforting your tasting buds for quite a long time even the last sip is long done - like fermenting fruits especially pears with a lot of their skin but also red apple sking parts mixed underneath it. If you let it cool down and take a sip there is a good vibe of watermelon to it especially including the taste of its stones.

In the aroma of a dry leaf - peach, flowers, a little menthol. The aroma is exotic, I have not seen anything like this in Chinese shengs.
On the first steeps a magical, complex aroma with a dominant peach fruitiness. After the 3rd infusion, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to this aroma, it turns into a more boring grated juicy green leaf, hazelnut, which lasts exactly until the end of the tea party.
The taste on the first steeps is slightly bitter, astringency. I would not call this sheng very soft, but it is not greenish bitter either. Further - a distinct sourness in taste and aftertaste, medium strength, pleasant astringency.
According to the body state - in the description, everything is correct, the state is pure, without any special bodily sensations, it is able to make a sleepy person vigorous and sensible.

a cute character puer- sweet, thick, clearly different, many brews, and slightly unusual aftertaste.
I find this one stands out from the rest in its character I mean in a sheng way, not in a yesheng way like lord-of-the-forest)
definitely worthy of a sample!

The best from the younger shengs I tried here! A nice fruity flavor. It has its unique flavor! Like it a lot!
