This is the sample came thru AllanK – thanks so much for sharing!
i was very excited to try it. The leaf material is good, long twisted leaves. Dry they smell of Fujian teas, that unforgettable rye bread, caraway seed, touch of chocolate .
6g/80ml Yixing pot 205F
rinse/short steeps 3/5/5/7/7/10sec etc
The soup is thick yellow color and very aromatic.
the tea is complex, changing with every steep. I’d say its a cross of Jin Jan Mei and medium roasted Yancha. some mineral notes emerged. some florals but not strong.
If you lower the temp you may avoid this and spicyness too i believe but i will stick with off boil. Long lingering aftertaste. Yum, very enjoyable,very interesting.
Im so glad i was able to try it. Thanks Allan ;)
And thank you YS for sourcing it

So far this is the best tian jian I have tried.
Like hot pepper spicy?
Yes. It actually gave just the right kick. This tea isn’t boring ;)
