Very heady. Takes a couple of steeps to really get going but when it does it is a strong buzzy tea that is very relaxing. Orange honey liquor and some nice fruity notes. Good astringency. While it has already been aged I think this is one to improve over time.

First few steeps give stone fruits with a kind of jammy background then opens up with a little more citrus and a slight sweetness.

15 sec first infusion + 10 seconds on each infusion after. I’m sure this tea can do more than 10 but usually with an aged white I will do around 8 infusions before putting the leaves in a pan with water and simmering it for a good 20 minutes to bring out all the goodness and make a super potent last brew. Try it and I guarantee you will love it.

Flavors: Astringent, Citrus, Hay, Mineral, Oats, Stonefruit

Found true tea a couple of years ago and my interest hasn’t dropped since.

The first tea to hook me was a gushu puerh from mei leaf which had an amazing complexity which blew my mind. I now have an ever growing tea selection which shows no signs of slowing.

Puerh is definitely one of my favourites whether raw or ripe. If anyone knows any good ones with a complex flavour feel free to chat. I also love dancongs and yancha as they have an amazing flavour and pack a punch. Basically I like tea…
