From Old Ways Tea

Good high mountain material with a classic charcoal roast. The farm is located in the hills above Chengduncun village (程墩村) at an elevation of 640 meters. The dry leaf has a rich tea fragrance. The tea is fairly roasty, somewhat bitter, and has a lasting rou gui fragrance.

A tea that promised a lot but just fell short. I got this tea from my recent OWT order as part of a free sample. Leaves were beautiful but a bit broken, weak dry leaf aroma but nuanced enough for the wet leaf and empty cup aroma to redeem it, beautiful, vibrant but slightly cloudy liquor. The flavour was nice for the first few steeps but it felt like it was lacking something, a bit of nuance, body, potency, I’m not sure. It just felt like something was missing. Texture was smooth yet juicy, providing a good foundation for the finish and slight mineral aftertaste. Mediocre character in my opinion, and it didn’t really set itself apart from other Rouguis I had. Decent-ish warming cha-qi and a poor to average steep longevity rounds off an interesting yet slightly disappointing tea session.
