Reviewing Spring 2016 version of this tea.
Prep: 60cc gaiwan, full. Boiling water, 10s until the color fades then add time to chase flavor. Also tried heavier and lighter leafing, and tried longer steep times, starting at 30s and extending out to several minutes. Usually get about 6 good steeps out of this.
Sessions with this tea: 10+
Taste: Maybe gentle roast notes, sweeter, softer, and more floral. Not all that much taste here overall, doesn’t change much across steeps. Strong floral aroma, maybe daisy?
Body: Thin mouthfeel, minimal energy. No feeling in my cheeks or throat or chest. Mildly playful across tongue in first 2 steeps, then disappears quickly.
Overall an unfortunately weak yancha of which I blind bought a large bag. Maybe this would be for people who like lighter teas and want to explore wuyi teas.
