SIPDOWN 14
Hard to say a good bye to this tea. And especially, it’s forever. This is acutally one of the greatest teas I ever had. Thank you derk for an experience.
I had remaining 2,6 grams, quite dusty actually; and decided for gongfu them.
Autumn leaves, no astringency, a bit of hay but not in boring way, super smooth, hints of nutty notes. Slighlty mineral, wet forest floor. Fruity, but not juicy. Peaches and/or apricots maybe?
YUMMY!!! Would you recommend this tea? YEEEEESSSS!

One of the greatest teas you ever had? I really should try the sample derk sent me soon!
tea-sipper if you consider myself as a tea-expert…
I just really liked it. Maybe I am a bit exaggerating. I indeed suggest the gongfu. I am sure that western would work too. The leaves are huge and wonderful to watch. Long steeps are working heavenly too.
I am afraid I am sometimes too hyped about trying some tea — and overrating them then. Maybe it is case for this tea as well. But if we both liked it, it is probably a great tea. But I just feel very unexpereinced yet. I am drinking a loose leaf for third year only. And only last year was the year when I have realised there is no way returning to tea bags only. If I want a nice and tasty tea, it must be a loose leaf. I won’t reprobate them though. They will be always a collector item for me. And that means I will have to drink them too. But I won’t drink them with such a pleasure.
I trust your judgement if you say it’s one of the greatest teas you have had.
