I found this to be a very tasty tea, one of the best house ripes I have tried from Yunnan Sourcing. It is a blend of gushu and plantation material. Despite their saying that this tea is ‘lightly’ fermented, I found it to be quite dark and deep, with just a touch of fermentation funk. It is quite delicious – notes of earthy cocoa, some sweetness, bread dough in later steeps, and only a touch of bitterness. The best flavors did dissipate after the first couple of steeps, but it was still quite good after that. I think this is a great tea and a good candidate for aging.

Well said. I have to say I agree that the first 3 or 4 steeps are the best for this one..yet I’m still considering getting a tong of it!

Have you tried the Green Miracle? That is another one I really like.

sirturtletheknight

Yeah I got a sample of it when it was in the YS tea of the month club and then got a cake of it. That’s another candidate for getting a tong..not sure which one would be better since they’re both quite nice and the Yang Luo Han is a bit cheaper. So hard to decide!
