5.3g, 90 ml zzz
sample from a different source but I’m too lazy to make another page
wet leaf: smoke, sweet, moth ball
1. gently sweet upfront, lurking bitter, gasoline-like note, sour, burnt candy. a range of notes. Alerting, lingering sweetness in mouth and upper throat
2. medicinal, generic mid aged sheng taste. good amount of bitterness present alongside sour note
3. similar, slight mushroom, slight mint on finish
4. something floral and almost perfume like lingers in upper throat
5. forgot and oversteeped. woody medicinal
6. soft honeyed
did not take notes for the finishing steeps after, but this is way farther ahead than the Hou De stored version and so it seems promising. I found this quite lovely, if a rather big departure from classical Xiaguan.
