6g, 95mL hongni shuiping, 2x rinse
this tea is good.
instant calm when I took first sip. later this qi became sedating/heavy/lethargic. it moved me and I got a body wave of energy, but no goosebumps that usually follows. lingering sweet aftertaste. gently astringent kuwei on long finish after 2-3 cups. VERY aromatic from empty cup on table in front of me. Like a bouquet of flowers on the table. smooth, goes down easily, no catch in throat.
it gets a bit raw on the stomach after a few cups, but I think this is due to the youth of the tea. I think this will age wonderfully and only get thicker/more full/sweeter with time. this is a good quality tea. I wasn’t motivated to buy a cake, but made a note to revisit and see if it develops, so its at least worth keeping an eye on
