drank Shuijingui 水金龟 - Zhengyan Yancha by Eastern Leaves
994 tasting notes

I really like this Yancha, it has a lovely dry leaf aroma of coffee and sweet florals, that turns into a mix of fish, cranberry, and lavender after the rinse.

The first infusion is savoury with hints of spices, a bit of nectar sweetness, and a woody finish. Middle part of the session gives a more refreshing vibe and cherry flavour, while later steeps are more woody.

The aftertaste is floral and very long-lasting. It has a good mix of sweet and sour flavours. Last, but not least, I enjoyed the mouthfeel a great deal. The tea is both thick and light at once, it is very smooth and also a bit numbing.

Flavors: Bark, Cherry, Coffee, Cranberry, Fish, Floral, Fruity, Lavender, Nectar, Pleasantly Sour, Sweet, Thick, Woody

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 6 g 4 OZ / 110 ML

You should take those specific notes with a big grain of salt ;)

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
