Bai Ye is just one of those teas that if you buy it from 7 vendors you’ll get 7 different teas. This is fairly representative with a good amount of florals and sweetness and a hint of cashew. Brewed for extra length which is always a plus, but it was not the best I’ve had, still I will drink the rest of my stash with reverence.

How would you compare this one to Yunnan Sourcing’s Bai Ye?

YS BY was a little inferior. Strangely Shunan had a perfectly structured BY that you could tell was a good tea but had a fraction of the aromas and flavors, and one she called a lady of the night, full of the sweet and over top floral but it was not structured and pooped out in the gaiwan after 3-4 steeps.

I think i remember her talking about it. I was thinking of getting Cindy’s Baiye, but went all in and got me some yashixiang. The price is lower than YS version, so I’m wondering how good it will be. So far all of the dancong from Wuyiorigin have been superb. I highly recommend Xingrenxiang.

Thanks for the rec’. Any reason to order more Fujian tea is a good idea.
