This is the best raw tea I have drank in ages. It is very sweet in nature. There was almost no bitterness, even in the first steep. I really didn’t notice any bitterness at all. It was not a weak tea. It had a nice golden color to it. If this is a good example of Yiwu teas I like them. It is a pity Misty Peak doesn’t make ripe tea too.
I brewed this eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7g leaf and 200 degree water. I steeped it for 10 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, and 1 min 15 sec. I might go back to this tea later for a few more steeps.
Flavors: Apricot, Stonefruit

Is this the spring or autumn?
This is the Autumn. It is still available at Mandala. I got this from Misty Peak Tea. I think Misty Peaks is sold out of it. The Spring 2013 was already sold out when I bought this some eight months ago. I’ve been told that Misty Peak no longer produces the Spring Tea because the Autumn is better. I don’t know for sure about this, just something I heard on Instagram.
I actually have the spring 2013. I also just purchased the 2014 autumn. Looking to get my hands on that 2013 autumn.
