Had a little gongfu session for the first time in quite awhile. I’ve been pretty busy over the last few weeks, and have barely had time to write down any tasting notes, let alone have a full gongfu session.
I’ve been putting off trying this, because In really disliked the last yabao I tried. The smell while steeping was pretty intense- very spicy and peppery. I actually ended up being quite pleasantly surprised by the flavor. Pine sap and honey. This actually reminds me of a good aged sheng.

I became obsessed with the world of tea through DavidsTea years ago. I love to try new brands, so I’m constantly on the look out for new-to-me companies.

Though, I’ll taste anything once!

I mainly brew western style.I like my tea extremely strong, so I tend to use wayyyyy more dry leaf than suggested.
