drank jin jun mei by Tea Trekker
1758 tasting notes

Got the 2016 spring pluck of this yesterday. This is nothing short of phenomenal tea. It has a mildly fruity main note followed up by an undercurrent of malt. This so far is among the best teas I have tried from Tea Trekker and on of the best Jin Jum Meis I have drank. I may want to pick up some more of this stuff.

I brewed this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 3 minutes.

Flavors: Fruity, Malt

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 3 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Went back for a second steeping. Strangely not as good as the first.

Bio

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.

Bay Shore, NY
