.. I have no idea how to describe the dry leaf aroma. It’s fine,
Warm pot: smells just like lychee, lovely.
First steep: gummy berries, cream, bread, thickness in the throat, peach, it’s soo nice it tastes like candy :)
Second steep is more creamy/buttery/bready, malty with notes of lychee and peach still, a bit tangy.
Moves to more citrus, toast, peach, with some dryness in the 4th steep, then more mango/citrus in the 5th with like an assam-like feeling and now that I think about it, there’s some of that indian floral there. No more cream/butter
Definitely starting to taste like a darjeeling, which isn’t my favourite flavour profile. But it’s like a bit thicker and more decadent, and I’m still enjoying it. Mostly.
If that fruitiness and creaminess had stayed longer this could’ve been one of my favourites.

what was your temp/leaf ratio with this one?
Anything fruity & my sonar goes mental
I was doing 98C and idk I was going for 5g I really need a scale.. my teapot was just under half full of wet leaf
Also just wait for my review of the feng Huang wuyi black;) that one was amazingly fruity & durable
Oh but I sid start to dial back the temp a bit when it got a bit drier which didn’t seem to do too much
