A sipdown! (M: 1 Y: 66) prompt: A tea you hoard
Da Wu Ye Dancong 2017 (Probably) by Chaozhou Tea Grower / Wudong Tea
I have this tea for soooo long. It was back then when I was pretty much active on r/tea IRC and one member offered sending me a few teas. This was one of them, because back then I had a Dancong oolong by white2tea and liked it. I believe I could have it from 2019 or so.
Well, yes, it was a hoarded tea. And now I am finishing it. Gongfu, remaining almost 5 grams, boiling water, flash steeps (as instructed).
Either it has faded, or I am not so focused today; but I just can’t picked up any aroma notes. It is a pretty much mellow flowery oolong, with hints of astringecy and if steeped longer, there is a creeping bitterness.
But, sipdown is a sipdown; with a filling prompt (well, who cares it is a February prompt, right?) and I have moreless enjoyed it.
