This is the White2Tea 2012 Guafengzhai Old Arbor Orb. I’ve split the sample in two so I can share it with Dexter.
Steeping 4-5g in my teeny gaiwan. 2 rinses, rest, flash steeps.
1 – It smells honey sweet, but has quite a bitterness on the tip of the tongue. Bitterness like fresh garden herbs, not bitterness like oversteeped Assam.
2 – Much the same.
3 – Much the same.
4 – Much the same.
And on, and on.
It’s not bad, but I’m not loving it. Part of this might be my disappointment with the club selection, so YMMV.
