Meh tea. I got this tea from my OWT order a while back, and it’s not really that great in my opinion. Decent full leaves with a pretty black-brown colour, with a decent aroma in the dry and wet leaf. Liquor is decent as well, clear and vibrant-maroon. Flavour is not too bad, weak in some areas but does stand out quite a bit compared to other yanchas. Complexity is average, with little steep variability. Texture is average, smooth but nothing special. Finish & aftertaste is nothing special as well, with a slight yan yun expected from yanchas. Steep longevity is mediocre, lasting up to steep 7-8 despite brewing Wuyi style, and cha-qi is weak, almost unnoticeable.
