I ordered a bunch of this! I’m a bit surprised tasting it this morning as it isdifferent than I remember. I remember the taste being predominantly of bread and honey. This tea is definitely greener, and more Tieguanyin like, than the sample I had. I could tell immediately when I first smelled the dry leaves that this was different than last time. The taste is all Tieguanyin- green, floral, sweet. I love Tieguanyin, but I specifically wanted this tea for the baked taste. Could it be that this year’s harvest is just that different? Maybe this is fresher than the sample I had? Either way, I’m going to enjoy this tea, but I’m hoping some of that bakey flavor comes through more in future steepings. I’m hoping it’s just my taste buds today.

I have some of this (older) and it definitely was more along the bakey lines than the TGY lines. Perhaps if you let it age (e.g. sit around) a bit, the flavour will develop?
I hope so – the sample I had was over a year ago, and I remember it like you describe- much more bakey than green.
