This is a pretty good daily drinker with a lot of cha qi. I had my pot set at 190 F for the first two steeps, resulting in alight straw flavor. After setting it back to 200, the tea had more bite, with a fair amount of tannin, and the straw flavor drifted more toward wood. However, I could still detect a bit of stone fruit under the wood and tannin, and there wasn’t much bitterness, despite a fair amount of dust in my sample.

How was the qi for you?
Fairly strong. I rate qi separately from taste on a scale of 1 to 100 (though Last Thoughts was 110!) and this was a 95. The W2T 2005 Naka is 99 (average of several sessions).
It was strong for me as well. Stronger than the 2012. The tea was tastier too.
Funny enough, W2T Naka was not as strong for me. Go figure.
I have a sample of the 2012 but haven’t tried it yet.
