A beautiful brick with smells of camphor, light leather, books, and spice. Begins thick, I mean dense, just opaque with flavors of pepper, resin, body, barnyardy but not musty, like old hay. Becomes more and more aromatic through the middle pours and the taste gains complexity as the liquor becomes less opaque. Floral and slightly sweet like brown crystal sugar at one point, this tea is a wonderful if not expensive Shu. Rinse then 15s/ 15s/ 25s/35s/and so on to your liking 1 brick : 8oz or Gong Fu Pot

Beautiful amber rolled Oolong. Steeps sweet and floral initially then fading to a subtle but pleasant roast flavor by the 4th pour and got a buttery flavor later on. Not overly Jade-y or tasting of toasted tea leaf, a complex aroma that lasted pour after pour. Brewed it almost all day, a beautiful, highly drinkable tea. Leaves were top 2-3, some stems intact, plenty of mixed oxidation.

My 1st aged white tea, so bare with me. Sweet smelling leaf even before brewing, beautiful darkened, condensed leaves with a smattering of silver tips. Beautiful smell while brewing, a dark sweetness like Oriental Beauty but without the oxidization. Tastes/smells of honey, medium caramel malt, but floral too, true to its roots as it were. Good for 2-4 infusions depending on the session, can get a bit astringent after 3rd. Great tea to unwind from the day or introduce someone to tea.
