Interesting floral/fruit notes and a pleasingly creamy mouthfeel. This is a nice tea definitely past the young sheng stage but with enough strength to go a while more in storage. Not particularly my style but certainly worth a sample or cake for something different every now and then.

Bio

Novice-Intermediate tea drinker (3 years serious tea drinking). Mostly sheng pu-erh, some oolong, the occasional black western style.

Try to avoid nonsense, hyperbole, and reading too many flavours into a tea. Red wine tastes like fermented grapes most of the time, tea tastes like boiled leaves most of the time. The question is: are they good fermented grapes, are they good boiled leaves?

Rating Scale:

0-25: Throw it out! Not even worth drinking at any price and cannot be gifted in good conscience.

25-50: Would not buy (again), unlikely to drink. Might be worth gifting to friends/family with lower standards (and western brewing only).

50-60: Would not buy (again), just drinkable.

60-70: Would consider buying again at a good price. Interesting or good enough to drink once in a while. Also, teas which I do not personally like but which I can see the objective merits of and might please others.

70-80: Would buy again, daily drinkers.

80-90: Definitely buy, excellent quality.

90-100: Buy at any price, the best of the best (I have never drunk anything this good…).
