Gongfu!
Though the aroma of the dragonball wasn’t giving off anything particularly distinct, this tea really sprang to life after the rinse! What caught me most off guard was how naturally sweet tasting this shou was. Like a rich yet bright Sticky Toffee Pudding or, as W2T describes it, a Creme Brulee – but with a smooth, earthy undertone to anchor the session. Admittedly, I was skeptical about how accurate the description would be when I ordered it, but dang! It’s not pretty freaking spot on and I’m having a fantastic time drinking through this tea while working from home this afternoon. 10/10 would recommend for fans of sweeter leaning or less forest-y and camphorous shou pu’erh!
