The cup is exceptionally smooth, with interesting muscat and fruity nuances, along with the balanced pungency of a top quality first flush tea. This tea was harvested from China jat (varietals) at the same time as the clonal counterpart (TS86). The cup from the China jat is slightly sweeter, while that of the clonal variety is slightly thicker. For comparison, consider buying a sample of one and a packet of the other.

It’s a bit different from China darjeeling, say Castleton’s or Margaret’s Hope’s.
I like its “exceptionality”.
Both of China jat and clonal variety have a repeated sweetness which is as if your tongue tastes sweet every time saliva passes through salivary glands. lol
I’ve also experienced the same kind of “repeated sweetness” with coffees of SCAA 85pts above before.
