I’ve been on a hong kick, but oolongs are really complex and delicious so a cultivar that is usually made into oolong as a hong is a real delight.

This isn’t quite as complex as the Shui Xian cake I’ve been drinking as of late but man is it still really good! Classic black tea notes, woody, a little sweet, and forgiving on brew times and ratio. Can’t beat it for the price. For the cost of one Starbucks coffee (not even a fancy one) I have 25g of great tea to brew around with.

The Shui Xian — is that the black cake of the black & white drop?

90-100 Stellar, to be displayed proudly if shared with guests. Or just a tea that hits its mark well.
80-90 I enjoy this tea a lot, would purchase and drink it. Fine if it lives in the pantry
70-80 Above Average, would drink it and probably still buy if the mood struck me.
50-70 Average, I would still drink it when available.
0-50 I don’t care for this tea, and have no desire to care for it.
