My first Hou De purchase I'm trying. 1999 Da Du Gang 'Yunnan Yuan Bao' Chi Tse Beeng. (I have no idea what any of that means except 1999 and Beeng.)
notes first...editing later
Dry leaf-dark forest green & brown; smells like leaves, wood, deeper than the last pu I tried
Liquor - pale caramel
Smell - leafy, woody
Taste - sweet, mushroom, floral
Later infusions - deeper taste, golden amber liquor

Cool, looks pretty light for a 99. Did the steeps get darker than the one shown in the picture?
Not that I remember, although my gong fu ability leaves much to be desired. I finally have a yixing and my scale should arrive today, so I'll have a better idea of how much tea to use. I'm better at guessing oolongs than puerhs.
I'll report back with a second attempt.
