I’m drinking this december 2016, so it’s a bit old, but it tastes nowhere near as good as the 2016, it’s less flavourful, similar to the 2016, more woody and just less of everything.
Drinkable, but a bit of a let down.

Ahh, the purple teas; I do find them unique. Highly aromatic with strong flavours.

Extremely fruity, massively fruity: Ripe plum, red berries and even some blueberries. There’s malt in the background and a sulphury smell as well. Throw in some wood and flowers and tada.

Drinking in Nov/16, this is medium bodied and quite smooth. Apparently, they can be quite bitter when young, but I don’t get that here. Flavours are more malt dominated on the palate with the fruit now in the background.

This tea has a strong note of malt to it. It’s got some bitterness and some astringency. It’s got an unpleasant, negative note that I just fail to identify. It’s not terrible, it’s just not to my liking. It might be better brewed gongfu but I rarely brew gongfu first thing in the morning.

I brewed this tea once in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and boiling water for 3 min.

Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Malt
