I find this pu-erh to have a richer and warmer earthy aroma as compared to both ZH20 and ZH65. Very smooth but with some nice complexity. While you can make multiple infusions with this tea, later infusions lose some of the complexity...I usually make only one very long infusion.
In the end though? I don't really like Ripened Pu-erh, and I don't think Upton the best company to buy Pu-erh from; if you're going with Upton I'd recommend sticking to their black teas.
