Gongfu Sipdown (1915)!
This was a nice send off for this sample. It was a very plum note heavy session with darker woody and mineral elements and a slight char note to the finish. The mouthfeel has some astringency, but it’s pleasant and the entire session is practically devoid or bitterness. Later steeps get a bit more floral, with a pronounced orchid note eventually coming to the forefront alongside the stonefruit. What I like most about this tea is how diverse the spread of flavours is, but how they all have such an opulent feeling to connect them!
