Very bitter in a pleasant way. Remindes me of the CLT Slumbering Dragon, but a bit more fruity instead of floral and good Qi.

This is a heavy hitter of a tea. I actually got it because the slumbering dragon was too pricy. I need a few more solid sessions with it before I can submit tasting notes. It should be better now that it’s had time to settle.
Indeed! But I love it – it has a very pleasnt bitterness (like the Slumbering Dragon), opposed to the bitterness sometimes found in cheap/bad teas. If it is too bitter but you like the overal taste nonetheless you might try the 2017 EoT Jingdong Ancient Wild which is similar but a bit more tame and more fruity.
I had a good session with it the other day. It’s improved a bit since I last had it. It’s a lot more nuanced and smooth. The body feel this time was the most notable part of the session. Does the Jinghong have a similar body /Qi effect as the Kunlu bitter? I don’t see reviews on it yet.
Yes, it has a simlar Qi but not as strong as the Kunlu. You can compare my opinion on both here: https://puerh.blog/teanotes/2017-jingdong-ancient-wild-eot (German only atm.)
Nice tea ware. :)
thanks :)
