======Ganpu 2015 Red Star======

===General===
  * Made with blended aged ripe puer and a fresh 2015 Xinhui mandarin. The tea is older than the peel.
  * Bought from [[https://white2tea.com/product/2015-red-star-puer-stuffed-xinhui-mandarin/|white2tea]] in III18.
  * I find this a very decent way to drink shu puer, it's refreshing and warming, but doesn't sedate. Would be interesting to try a ganpu with sheng puer.

===Western Tasting (9III18)===

The **dry mandarin** smells super cool! Mandarin and old wood! **Wet leaves** smell rotten, fishy. Not very nice. Some sanxia wood, some overcooked mandarin. **Empty cup** a bit sweet, pointless. **Nose** is quite subtle. **Aroma** not too complex, shu puer meatiness, subtle, refreshing finish. As it cools, nose becomes clearer to identify, taste becomes denser. Surprisingly not bitter, but not too complex, either.

===Gong Fu (9III18) (ceramic gaiwan)===
Mandarin becomes stronger with more brews. Very sippable, light.
