Backlogging from yesterday. The tea was sweeter than I remember, but it still tastes less refined than other aged shengs. Of course, that’s the charm of this tea: It has unique and complex flavors that really make this tea memorable. I only got four infusions out of it because of time constraints, but they were all excellent, with the favor mellowing, yet getting progressively more complex. I’m really gonna miss i=this tea when I finish the sample…

One would (might?) hope that a “wild arbor” leaf would be less refined than a garden leaf.
I agree with you, but the point is that this is the quality that I like the most about the tea. This tea is a pleasant contrast from my Japanese greens and Indian blacks because of it is a bit rough around the edges.
Agreed.
