I just got a new electric kettle, and this is what I picked to test it out on. This cake is gorgeous. Long chaotic tendrils of dark green, silver, gold, and brown mix wildly together. The cake carries a dry fruit and almost tang scent. I placed a generous chunk with some maocha in my warmed yixing and gave it a shake. These leaves have a smooth and creamy scent. I could almost taste caramel. I began my brewing. My kettle is amazing! I feel as though my tea experience has been upgraded. I now have a reliable and consistent temperature. The warmed leaf has an almost chocolate and cream scent. The taste was spectacular. My mouth was immediately coated with a warm tingling sensation upon sipping. The liquor was sweet and honey like. I detected no bitterness or astringency in this brew. I was getting honey suckle and floral tones throughout steeping. This tea stoop up well for quite some time. It was a very sweet and succulent gong fu session. The qi was uplifting and intense. My body was heady and my eyes were lite up. This was my way of winding down after a very long day. I loved this session, and I cant wait to continue revisiting this cake!

@Dexter A few teas would be more worthy, but they have yet to arrive hahah.

@boychik I took a guess on purchasing this one. It sounded very nice, and I usually love Bulang. It was also fairly inexpensive including shipping. Its a pretty great cake :)

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
