Emperor Jiaqing's Tribute Tea from East Teas
88

The cup is dominated by a creamy sweetness throughout, with some vanilla. Over the top of this are changing floral notes. Both the sweetness and the crisp floral notes continue into the aftertaste. A subtle astringency is present, which highlight the floral flavours. Despite the creamy sweetness, the cup is very clean. From second infusion onwards, slight spice is apparent in the mid-palate and in the aftertaste.

The leaves are entirely large, whole leaves, with a fold & twist. There is a medium degree of oxidation. The wet leaves have a very floral, sweet, blossom-like smell.
