light amber colour with aromas of celery, wood, peaches, raspberries, coffee and wet rock.
mostly follows through with similar taste profile. took a little coaxing to get out, but perhaps my leaf:water ratio wasn’t very high. i didn’t weigh
anyway, i’m enjoying this this evening, and one of these days shall compare to the non-premium da hong pao from yunnansourcing

I read “wet rock” as “pet rock,” and for a moment I thought you had tried to groom a pet rock in your childhood like a cat. I had an entire backstory about why you would know what a pet rock tasted like. Then I read “wet rock” and it made more sense.
What’s the ideal leaf:water ratio on this kind of tea?
I’m not very precise when drinking tea, so really not in a position to comment on any ideal ratio. My gaiwan holds approximately 150ml and i will typically use between 3-5g of dry leaf. I just eyeball it usually; sometimes it’s not enough, and sometimes it’s too much.
