This was a beautiful tea! I was craving a decent Jingmai, and I remembered getting this. I broke off some generous chunks and stuck them in my yixing. The dry leaf was smoky and a deep hickory scent. This gorgeous leaf consists of long dark green tendrils. Its slightly compressed which is a good sign. I warmed up the leaf and gave them a whiff. There was a sweet brown sugar barbeque aroma rising from my teapot. I eagerly began brewing. The steeped leaves carried the same smoky tone, but it was like roasted greens. The flavor was just as tasteful. I could take in dark wood and sea salt caramel. This was a full bodied and aromatic brew. The only problem was that this tea tapered off rather quickly. It made for a short gongfu session. Nonetheless, it was very enjoyable. There was a prominent lasting huigan and the qi was quite potent. I am very happy to have more of this to share.

This is from the same producer of the Hu’s Village that you are enjoying so much. Much younger trees, however. Enjoy!
