I’m exhausted, so this isn’t going to be the greatest of reviews.
Overall, I’d say this is meh. Perhaps this tea would benefit from a gongfu style brew rather than a western. 175 º for 2.5 mins resulted in a lightly sweet, slightly grassy, hay-like quality with high astringency. I’m getting thirsty brewing this tea.
There’s a honey aroma that doesn’t come out in the flavor at all. Perhaps playing around with the temperature and brew would take care of all that.
The flavor kind of reminds me of a raw puerh. There might be some hope for this tea on another day.
