I thought I’d written a review on this one, but apparently not, although I’m sure I’ve written something of the 2013 version. I’ve enjoyed it several different ways over the time it has been in my cupboard. The aroma is sweet honey to me, but the cup can be a tad bitter.
Some of my parameters:
1 T to standard cup (10 – 12 oz) for 3 minutes – that works for a lot of my favorite Yunnans, but for this one, it’s a little strong. Resteep at 5 minutes.
2 tsp to standard cup for 3 & 5 min works much better.
5G + 4oz X 15/30/45/60sec/2/3/4/5/min is the better way to go IMO
Given the choice, I think I prefer YS Black Gold Bi Luo, however, my taste buds are off due to allergies, so that could be temporary :)

have you picked up any of the 2015 versions yet?
(of any YS teas…)
Nope…tea buying hiatus…however, I do have some money in my playpal account, & was thinking of it…I’m really trying to be good! I keep reminding myself that I still have over 300 teas in my collection!
yeah…i’m trying really hard not to buy but i want a couple teas from YS, i want to place my “treat” order from bellocq and i am out of things from teavivre (staples) but i’m trying to hold off until at least july. then i can justify it as a birthday order and hopefully be in a better cupboard position then. ie.under 90
Yeah, I’d like to pick up some Teavivre keemun…and…and….and… :)
Terri, which Keemun you’d like to pick ?
with you on the keemun terri…as well as the dragon pearls heh
Boychik, I like all of their Keemuns, but I still haven’t tried the superfine keemun mao feng.
