This was an interesting tea.
I am always intrigued by this company’s tea, so I decided to pick this one up for fun. The leaves are heavily compressed and a dark shiny green. They give off a strong aroma of prickly pear fruit, thick grass, aloe, radish, and some light floral tones. It was a welcoming aroma. I warmed up my pot and tossed some in. The scent opens into a familiar apricot, dry wood, and floral scent; however, I noted some palo verde and fig preserve in the background. I washed the leaves and went on to brewing. The taste is sweet and grassy; a thick arugula flavor greets me. Then, I can catch more dandelion and some light smoke. An intense cooling sensation flows across my tongue. The menthol feeling created a tingling sensation on my tongue and roof of my mouth. After a few steeps, I noticed some peppery kuwei and some astringency. The tea has a good character and a mild bite with soothing vegetal tones. The vegetal tastes develop into grapefruit, bright and soft fruits, and some perfume. They were a melody of interesting flavor. There is no huigan except for a similar buttery and light sugar tone present in the mouth. The brew continues in the same manner with kuwei of bitter greens and peppercorn. The qi consists of a nice head buzz with blurry eyes. A nice fruity tang persists in the throat. Then, all of a sudden, a surprise attack from the gushu. I entered complete space out mode with eye popping action. This is some beautiful stuff. The brew lasts quite a long time due to compression, and it was very good considering price. I liked it.https://www.instagram.com/p/BInugJkA7RB/?taken-by=haveteawilltravel

It was a interesting review indeed. Thank you for it. When visiting this mountain and its people I realized how well cared is this place (in terms of ecological feeling) and also the people’s reverence of the ancestor heritage (the tea trees).
