Trying another Bitterleaf Sample! This tea is quite sweet. Unfortunately, that was about all it was. The dry leaf smelled like candy, and the flavor lived up to that aroma. The whole session was about the same except for some bitterness in the first few steeps. A light vegetal or greener floral flavor (slightly bitter in first 3-4 steeps) with a sugar sweet finish. It was pleasantly thick for steeps 3-6 or so. I didn’t notice any qi from drinking this one, even on an empty stomach.
I wouldn’t describe this tea as nasty or unpleasant, it’s simply boring. Between Bitterleaf’s two budget cakes this year (The two Year of the Monkey cakes) the smoking monkey Yiwu blows this one completely out of the water.

i wasn’t that into this one, either. i should try it again, though.
Yea I’ll finish my sample of it for sure – maybe just a bad day for it, who knows :P
trying it again today, i’m finding it has a nice interesting fruity-floral aftertaste. i’m liking it a lot more than i remember. innnteresting. :)
Interesting – I’ll try to revisit my sample in the next couple of days as well :)
