Scott Wilson pulls through again, with another budget-friendly puer from ancient and wild trees. The first thing that I notice is the musky orchid aroma, then the smooooothe, oily body with a base of solid bitterness, and lastly a lingering aftertaste that reminds me of buttered crackers. It may sound weird, but the XHS reminds me A LOT of Scott’s Yunnan Bi Luo Chun… maybe its from around the same area? I can’t really fault this tea… it might not be as much to my personal tastes as others, but its strong, fragrant and interesting, with cha qi for days.
Flavors: Bread, Butter, Lavender, Orchids

My Yunnan Sourcing orders are getting more and more frequent—and I guess this one should go on the wish list.
Yeah Scott is basically a drug dealer… that said, I probs won’t be getting this one. As noted above, it’s just a bit too smooth and flowery for my tastes. I can see someone who’s really into Yiwu liking this one though…
I enjoyed the interview with Scott on the teadb.org site. It reaffirmed my respect for his business.
I like that combination conceptually: “baked bread, butter, lavender, orchids”. Have you tried Scott’s 2015 Da Hu Sai? I’m curious to hear comparisons since their base material come from neighboring villages.
