Nice example of dry stored You Le. Has a grapefruit like bitterness withfloral high notes reminiscent of ye sheng. Again, coming from the beer world I’m reminded of a hop variety, Chinook. Think Pike IPA. I’m still educating myself on how these wildish Yiwu area teas taste with a bit of age on them. In the past I tended to prefer them young. Now I’m getting into aged and semi aged Yiwu teas. In the past I always said that I prefer Menghai teas aged and Yiwu teas young. I’m now beginning to rethink this. I got about a dozen steeps from this and they were all pretty consistent. The qi is of the gentle uplifting clarifying slightly calming variety. Not spectacular but nice. A good buy for $.28g if you like this sort of cha.

I’ve been a huge fan of all manner of black tea since the early 90s particularly second flush Darjeeling, Fujian, Yunnan and Assam teas but last winter fell headfirst into the sheng world and the rest is history…
