Sen Ye Shou Puer

A cheaper '06 shou puer (50rmb for 350g beeng) that wasn't bad at all. Touch of bite, and a single hued pallet, but after the tenth steeping, this flavor keeps on without developing the chalk or astringency of many a more expensive brand.

Anyone have a translation of this Chinese?

Anyone know where it is from?
