A sipdown! (M: 2 Y: 18)
Finally I decided to gongfu rest of this tea. Which means it is a sipdown; and when it is a tea bought abroad, it is sometimes a little bit more sad. But I have saw this tea available from different vendors, including Czech one too. So, I may get some one day; but definitely I will wait for a new harvest at least.
So, this tea is kind of hard to describe… even after following sessions: 45 seconds, 3 times 15 seconds, 20 and 30 seconds. There was a quick, 5 seconds long rinse, that I drank but haven’t made any notes.
The first session is very strong, woody cup, with hints of rose and cinnamon; however the mouthfeel feels a bit flat and drying. The drying mouthfeel is quite long, but in the same time you just want to try another cup of this tea.
The short sessions were equal in terms of flavours and very similar to first one, with more spicy notes and cherry wood; however I didn’t noticed the fruity notes as some vendors described in their listings.
As I wrote last time, definitely a tea that gives me autumn-feel-vibes, and even though I drank it in February, it is full-flavored and potent. That’s roughly 10 months from harvest, again based on some vendors info. I don’t know when exactly my batch was harvested and processed, but I can imagine having more of this.
