1995 "Green Pu-erh"

Honestly, finding this tea was an accident. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The following actions occurred:

The bag of tea was grabbed,
ripped open,
and... "oh... wait... this doesn't smell like I was expecting.. this actually smells like barbecue sauce!"
the tea was then prepared for testing,
brewed,
and "wait.... I was told 'look for something bitter', but this is not bitter at all...! 
In fact, I didn't think tea could taste like this..! 
Barbecue sauce...."

Funny (but true!) story aside, this tea is a large leaf, sheng pu'erh that has changed in flavor from aging since 1995.  That is actually all we know about it.... which makes me wonder... Is this how aging tea started? *writes a note for the quest givers to find out.*
It has such a unique flavor that we can use it to prove that tea has a wide variety of very unique, delightful flavors.

Gaiwan Notes:
As mentioned above, this tea reminds the keeper of barbecue sauce, however everyone else that drinks it has a tendency to say it has a "smokey like hickory" or a "leathery" flavor.
