I’ve had this for some time, and I’ve never even tried it. I pulled it from storage and decided to give it a go. The dry leaf is incredibly compressed, and it gives off a sweet and fruity aroma. I placed a chunk in my warmed yixing and gave it a shake. The warmed leaf gave off a nice sweet aroma. I was picking up peat moss, wet wood, and some nectar. I washed the leaves twice and prepared for brewing. The steeped leaves gave off a much different tone that its previous aromas. I was able to get a distinct smoke scent along with some spinach and pepper. The taste begins slightly sour with smoke. The smokiness grows and becomes stronger with each steeping. The Bulang bite is present in the first couple steeping sessions. The qi can quickly be felt by the second steeping.The feeling begins in the head and neck and quickly flows through the body. I experienced no huigan with this brew. I’m glad I stuck with it (I’m not partial to bitter brews), for it became sweet by the fourth steeping. The Bulang bite still accompanies this sugarcane sweetness. However, this brew goes flat pretty quickly. I was able to pull about eight or so steepings from this tea. The sweetness was good, but it wasn’t lasting and it was too subtle for my taste. This is an okay tea, and I guess it would make a fair daily drinker. Personally, I don’t see myself reaching for it in the future.
