I am writing this tasting note backwards because I had to copy my nptes from the Mei Leaf website. This one is a bit different from some of their tasting notes because of the different season. This is a 2022 pick. In my sip just now I taste oatmeal along with dry wood. Quite a good tea. But doesn’t knock my socks off.
