Gongfu!
Tried my sample for the first time yesterday afternoon at work. Ironically, I own a cake of the 2018 pressing of this tea but I’ve never tried it – so 2019 was my first experience. I also have a sample of the 2016 pressing, but I haven’t tasted that one either. I know the 2018 was pretty well liked though, so presumably this 2019 will at least taste somewhat like what the 2019 one did?
Dry leaf smells amazing; super fresh – lemon and green beans!? Steeped tea is fresh, crisp and fairly green; giving me fresh summer grass and citronella vibes in a really nostalgic for childhood summer vacations kinda way. A little bit of straw/honeysuckle!? Has anyone else tried this one yet? What were your thoughts!?
I feel like this could be wonderful Grandpa style…
