in line w/ trad storage history, there’s visible frost on the leaves, though maybe not to Yee on extent. rinsed a bit longer because the spout clogged from the broken bits.
wet leaf: woody, aroma carries a bit of cheesy funk that some of the Yee on teas also have. some toad skin texture.
1: shou-like color, a welcome change from the lighter than expected brews of the past few days. good texture. root taste, some beet and bitterness. Quick light sweetness after
2: sweet, some generic root-y taste. cozy
3: good texture. flat taste w slight bitter edge. some cooling in finish
4 and 5: similar
6: herbal taste. mugged it after
given that most teas are not liquid assets, preference obviously matters in building a collection since a lot of modern hobbyists seem like hoarders. While I don’t find this tea especially compelling, that’s due to personal preference. And plenty would disagree it seems, since this tea has sold out several times on Hou De’s site. Unlikely to cake this.
