So far I have had this tea grandpa style and gongfu, and it’s wonderful both ways.
The aroma is enticing: raisins, brown sugar, brown toast, cocoa.
The brew is also lovely, and reflects the aroma well. There’s raisins, brown sugar, cocoa, and toast. There’s also a bit of spice like cinnamon. The mouthfeel is thick, warm, and borderline creamy.
I can see all of the tasting notes being correct for this tea. Honey and barley. Someone in my office did mention that this tea tasted like pumpkin spice. The brightness could be orange. Bittersweet is also a good adjective for it. This tea is complex and oh so tasty.
I think I want to move to the Laoshan region, please.
