The leaves have a strong scent of round, fresh fruitiness, very characteristic of Yiwu tea, it seems to me.
In the fragrance one can distinguish yothful tippy/wheaty and floral notes as well as some fruit. In the later infusions the tippyness fades and the fragrance focuses on very rich and mature fruity scents with a floral edge.
The taste is very youthful and quite bitter, with a strong tippy flavor which later gives room to more fruity notes. In the following infusions the bitterness tones down and acquires a pleasant citrusy character.
It took a couple of rounds for this cake to reveal its age, and after a couple of infusions, the flavor faded pretty quickly. Those couple of good brews were delicious, but there are better cakes out there also. For a puerh pressed this loosely, the cake was also surprisingly youthful.
