I’ve never had a tea that tastes like butter! In the first infusions butter and bacon on a slightly pithy background – the latter then giving way to a supple mix of wood and leather with buttery popcorn and then going from the ~14. Infused in a very pleasant warm sweetness of melted butter. The fact that the texture is also oily and heavy (but not as full as, for example, a velvety LME ) and absolutely soft, reinforces the impression even more and underlines the relaxed and settled character of the tea: you won’t find flowers and bright colors here. Texture, character, depth and versatility – that alone would be enough for a top rating, but the tea also has a very nice, intensive Qi to offer: it works rather gently, but is then very filling and intensively relaxing – but of a lighter/lighter quality than the Qi of Tejipin, which for me is the epitome of Stoner Qi. Really awesome tea!

Nice to see a new note from you. I hop over to your blog every now and then.
Thank you derk, glad you like them! To be honest I’ve been focusing on my blog mainly because I drink lots of rather unknown teas but for such an iconic tea an entry on steepster is mandatory ;-)
