I had a small session of this last night with 5g/60ml, today I’m upping the ante at 10g/125ml
So far I’m really enjoying this tea. The smell I get from the dry (and a bit in the wet) leaf is one I really like but can’t quite put my finger on. Maybe an odd mix of minty licorice? That doesn’t sound right.. I hope the smell stays with time.
Anyways this tea only has a tiny bit of bitterness and has a lingering sweetness. I have to admit I needed a food break after the first 3 steeps, and I discovered that this isn’t a pleasant one to drink cold. So far I haven’t found it to have much in terms of what some people might call cha qi. The tea soup is a nice amber color.
I’m enjoying it and I’m glad I got a cake. I think it will be a nice borderline daily drinker tea.

This stuff is really good; if you haven’t ever had any bangdong, be sure to try it sometime. I relate the two to one another.
I think I might have a sample of a bangdong pu somewhere.. I’ll have to dig it out. I’ve also had the bangdong hong from w2t which I’ve enjoyed a lot
We may share a similar like in sheng :) have you had any CLT?
Not yet but I do have a planet jingmai and a sample of 2005 top of the clouds waiting for me as a treat for getting through exams
