Bought most of a brick from malsa92’s stash and was excited to try it. I stuffed myself with some tofu nao and collards and threw 5 grams of this into the gaiwan. Did a quick wash and a quick first steep.
Definitely green, as one would expect, with an enjoyable, vegetal sourness. It’s dry with a nice thickness and a pleasant, slight bitterness. Tobacco and faint menthol notes emerge in the second steep. It smooths out quite a bit after a few steeps and more floral notes start to emerge. There is definitely some qi, as well. Overall, it evens out to something nice and light. I’m glad I have a brick, and look forward to seeing how it evolves.
