I was inspecting the basement tea supplies to check that the garage denizens hadn't done too much damage this winter, when I noticed they had nipped the edges of this teas' very nice wrapper. I don't remember the exact decision making process that led me to purchase from this vendor. This is 2006 Hong Tai Chang 0803 Thailand raw puerh style tea. From near Chiang Mai, alleged very old trees at 1300 meters, the early impressions are of light smoke and wood. It finishes with incense and perfume and a very long lasting mint-camphor aftertaste. Not a light puerh, definitely on the burly side, both in energy and flavor. Feels like a good deal for the price, whatever led me to buy it.
