Exquisite . . .
It’s tea like this that makes me want to drop the ratings of almost everything else but I do use the little smileys bar as an indicator. A smile is a smile.
However, there is definitely an echelon above the rest that exists and this belongs in it. I’m left wordless. Serious, serious tea.
Much depth, structure and a profound calming quality. The flavor just goes on for miles and the mouthfeel is rich and soft.
when this is near spent i have been adding some heavily roasted tung ting to the gaiwan which is great on its own but the combination allows for an element of complexity. anything to stretch the flavor of this tea. it works.
