hawkband1 drank Fujian Zhangping Shui Xian Cake Black by What-Cha

537 tasting notes

This tea is rare enough that I was able to search for it by ‘black cake what cha’ without remembering the whole name. As nice as that was, it makes getting more of this tea difficult.

I didn’t store the other half of my cake properly, so I wasn’t sure if it would taste okay. Thankfully, taste was not impacted by my lack of storage.

1/2 cake, 100ml gaiwan, 195F
15s, 20, 25, 30, 40, 55, 1min, 1, 2
Thick, chocolate, dark chocolate. Flavor lasted a long, long time.

Keeping this on my wishlist. Hope it comes back someday.

Flavors: Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Thick

Bio

I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.

I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.

I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.

I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.

My cupboard is completely out of date. I have a spreadsheet (it’s current!!!) that’s over 300 teas. Pretty equal amounts of black, white, oolong, raw, & ripe with a little bit of green/herbal.

Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
