This one has great qi, but more subtle in flavor than I expected. Dried leaf has a floral and sweet grassy scent and when steeped becomes more floral (honeysuckle) with some steamed brussel’s sprouts. Tea soup is clear, pale yellow, and viscous.
It’s quite active in the mouth. Some nice cooling effects going on here, too. I detected whispers (yes, I said whispers!) of honeysuckle, acorn, pine, buttered zucchini, and snap peas. A bit of an ordinary flavor profile, IMO. The best part is how it lingers in the mouth…more than 20 mins! I can see this becoming even more interesting over the years.

I’ve tried a 2016 YS sample from the tea club (don’t know which) that fits this profile to a tee… love the feeling, therefore can’t complain about the lack of flavor
Yeah, I really liked the cooling and body feel of this tea. But having grabbed 2 Han Gu Di cakes, I couldn’t afford any more!
