Ordered from LP as part of XG Kunming vs. TW storage comparison. This note is for the Kunming stored.

5.2g, 90mL gaiwan. Brita tap. Quick rinse. can’t remember dry leaf, but nothing standout. I’ve also been under the weather a bit lately, so a bit stuffy every morning.

wet leaf: BBQ smoke, hay, dark slight medicinal, mushroom. aged sheng taste, slight minty bright taste. Finish was also somewhat mushroomy and grassy initially, but then was more slight bitterness and sweetness on subsequent steeps. Can hit the medicated leaven TCM taste on longer steeps. soup is on the thin side, but not sure if this is a water thing. Not sure what the whole “rock flavor” thing is about.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!!

As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
