This is a good tea. It has a nice camphor taste balanced by a sweet taste. The camphor taste is not overpowering. It has only a moderate amount of fermentation flavor left to it. Mr Mopar’s review of this tea was on the mark. There were some buttery notes. I liked this tea even though I did not like camphor teas in the past. I guess my tastes have changed.
I steeped this tea 6 times in a 170ml Yixing teapot with boiling water and 6g leaf. I steeped it for 10 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, and 30 sec. It was fairly weak by the sixth steep. Either it is a slightly weak tea or I did not use enough leaf. Thank you Mr Mopar for this sample. I have enough left for one more gongfu session in the future and may try a little more leaf.
Flavors: Camphor, Sweet
I had a sample of this tea. I thought it was good but I didn’t end up buying it.
I am trying to resist!
Vicks Vapo Rub kind of camphor?
