Significantly stronger and with more bitterness than the 2016 Han Gu Di with also very nice leafes, but also no very unique character, which would make this tea stand out.

The 2016 HGD seemed a lot stronger and bitter last year than it does this year. Not sure what’s happened, but it now seems quite balanced.
thanks for letting me know! gonna have to try the 2016 then – the 2015 is absolutely not a bad tea, just doesn’t have something special.
I’ve read mixed reviews for the 2016 Han Gu Di. I think proper storage and good water will help it shine. I agree that the 2015 Bang Dong is a consistently high performer. I’m kicking myself for having not purchased a whole cake when it was less than $60.
