I really liked this tea. It was very well compressed and I almost had to break out my tea awl for this one. It is sweet with subdued notes of either dates or plums, not sure which is a better description. Cocoa notes are in the ball park too. This tea was a bargain at only $17.50. This is one I would definitely consider buying another of if putting in another order. It was much smoother than the 1998 White Tuo, at least I thought so. I kept this to six steeps tonight because I don’t want any more caffeine but you could certainly get twelve or more steeps out of this tea.
I steeped this six times in a 120ml gaiwan with 6.5g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, and 20 sec.

Sounds yummy!

They still have this one available and last time I looked it was on sale for $17.50.
Damn, I just went in on a white2tea order…too late now :(
Sorry Steph! I’m sure we’ll do another order again. That boychik is really good at talking me into splitting cakes with her.
It’s cool. I need to drink what I have and not shop too much ;)
