I re-read my first impression from the comment above, and to me it's still accurate: You can get some bitterness if you oversteep it, but if you don't, it's super smooth, and not as "green" tasting as a young Sheng PuErh: You get a sense of a bit of ageing, which made the tea rounder, more "calm" and quite approachable, and which I enjoy. It might not be the fruitiest nor the most exciting Sheng out there; but it's an easy-drinker, and a nice introduction to "semi-aged (or, slightly aged, if you want) Sheng", not as "raw" as a fresh Sheng anymore, yet totally different from a Shou. The white2tea description "perfect combination of affordability and age for daily drinking" fits very well.
