A lackluster tea. I got this tea from my recent Mei Leaf order, and there’s not much to say other than it’s mediocre and disappointing. This tea had a really strong and complex aroma between the wet and dry leaf, as well as the empty cup. It also had a smooth texture with a nice medium thickness. The flavour however was weak and shallow, lacking body even when steeped for longer. Little aftertaste and finish, with a lack of character as well as cha-qi. Worst of all, this tea only really lasted for around 5 steeps, unlike the 10 steeps advertised by Mei Leaf. While the tea is not offensive in nature, it is a poor representation of what Rou Gui and Wuyi Yancha is.
