5g, Brita tap in 90 mL gaiwan boiling. 10s rinse.

I didn’t purchase my partial cake from YS (given the annual price increase factored prices, to more or less quote a review on there: “if you have the money why not” but I still paid a pretty penny for this and this was one of my priciest/g sheng purchase at the time), so this may be a prior storage thing instead of LBZ thing but the taste is really bizarre in a way I can’t describe except eau de old overperfumed house and feet. Underneath that, this remains quite bitter (which tbf is how it’s supposed to be?) and not too comfy to the stomach and still feels young and rough around the edges. Taste aside from that and the minty fruity sheng taste, not too exciting. Mushroominess weaves in and out of the background as LBZ is supposed to have. Aftertaste is okay; can last and extend to the throat depending on the steep. LP’s LBZ Maocha was very much tame and pleasant compared to this; this is also stronger in body effects. Texture isn’t ever great and thins out quick, but 1st steep was prickling and warming on the face and steeps 2-5 brought some heating on upper back and forehead sweat. Past that, effects start to taper off steadily, while the taste drops off significantly.
