2013 Yue Guang Bai Premium Looseleaf Tea

Another Sample from the great and powerful Miss_Phi!

I like the combination of black and silvery green leaves. It combines the look of a white peony and a silver needle. I brewed this in my glass gaiwan at a lower temp, and it was really fun to watch the leaves do it’s thing. The light gold liquor produced a rich bouquet of flavors. I got a rice and fragrant floral, like lilies and orchids. I also got that cold inhale from what I must guess is camphor. I am really surprised by how all around pretty this tea is. It looked pretty, it smelled pretty, it tastes… pretty. It seems ever so slightly girly if that makes any sense to anyone.
I have had a handful of samples from Puershop now, and this may be the straw that broke the camel’s back. I may have to put in an order sometime in the near future. idk why I was apprehensive before, part of me looked at the site and thought to myself, ’wow, this looks terribly spammy!"
Now I know not to judge it by it’s cover!

Elegant, sweet, complex, deep, versatile, and easy to brew. This can be treated like a puerh, white tea, or oolong. The dried leaves are highly fragrant, mostly intact and beautifully shaped. The leaves can be steeped at least 8 times without loosing flavor. The brewed liquor is champagne-like with excellent clarity. Good for aging or current consumption.
