Until a couple years ago I was a black tea fanatic, particularly 2nd flush Darjeelings, Assams and Fujian blacks. I typically drank them western style with cream. When I got into drinking young sheng gongfu style I quickly determined that a good young Yiwu gushu is what Darjeeling wanted to be when it grew up. I bought some samples of this stuff in 2017 and was impressed with it western style…of course I should be at over a buck a gram! Yesterday I found this in a cupboard and decided to do a gongfu batch in a gaiwan 2g to 60ml 90c. I must say this is the best tasting unaged tea I’ve ever had. Better than young top tier sheng from WanGong. It explodes with tropical fruit, wildflowers and honey. Every steep is amazing and different…but there is no cha qi and for this price I expect that. Would I buy this tea at this price again? Maybe. The flavors are truly remarkable but this tea is at a price point where I expect to get some funky body feels.
