This review is for the 2014 harvest.
While this is a dancong, it resembles a pouchong because of the floral notes and brightness. Yet at the same time it as the characteristics of a roasted oolong because of the color. The darker color doesn’t add any notes you would expect though which was quite a surprise as I was expecting a stronger tea. To be honest: This is one of the most gentle cups of tea I’ve had in a long time. Between the mouth feel and taste, this is a beautiful leaf. The liquid has little aroma and the taste is very delicate. This is one of those teas you have to drink slowly and think about the taste right after to realize exactly what you just tasted; unlike stronger teas that kind o punch your taste buds.
Tea Habitat being included for the 2nd or 3rd group buy in 2016… maybe :)

That looks like something I might like. My fingers crossed in the groups buys.
Couldn’t agree more with you on the tea being delicate. Each steep changes flavor, and sometimes there is a bitterness that surprises in a middle steeping. Love the way the sweet note at the end continues for a long, long time.
