A good tasting and decently complex white tea, and one which goes a long way brewed gongfu style. The first couple steeps (I keep them around 10-15 sec.) are pretty heavily floral. The next few keep the floral flavor but also add an interesting flavor to the mix, to me it tastes like nettles, but I could see other’s descriptions of it as “peppery.” It finishes off pleasantly, as I can go up to around 10 infusions which are a progressively lighter floral flavor. Pleasant bitterness brushes the mouth when brewed with slightly longer times in the early steeps, but if brewed with too hot of water, this bitterness becomes rather unpleasant, as I learned.

Flavors: Floral, Pepper, Sweet

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 0 min, 30 sec 4 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
