After a year of reading the Hojo articles and really wanting to try their stuff, I finally took my tax return money and made the purchase!
This tea was one that I read about for 2015 and 2016 as it is so unique and beautiful; how can one not? Really glad that I picked it up too because it’s a wonderful tea all around. It was pressed into cakes so the pieces are hard to get full leaf, but inside that material you do get them. The colors are wonderful: https://www.instagram.com/p/BSuHlIvgC4t/
The smell comes off quite strong and gives you an impression of warm juice. The taste is like a fruit with skin that had honey rubbed on it. This tea went a good 6 steeps before I ended it. A cake for this runs a bit high at $65/200g, but dang… something like this is quite unique and I have yet to see anyone else product wild white tea cakes. If YS does so with the purple moonlight then I’m in trouble : P
Really like this stuff all around though. Going to save the rest to brew with other people.
Those leaves are gorgeous. It almost looks like a Zhangping oolong, but I’ve seen only a few Bai Me Dans with that spectrum.
