this is a sample with my recent purchase.
205F 3g 8oz 3.5min
the brew is light golden brown. its malty rye bread,some stone fruits, cherry, but its not over the top. dont get me wrong, its very flavorful but delicate at the same time. has some muscatel notes, some sips had sour note. No smoke detected.
in a blind test i probably wouldn’t recognize this tea as Chinese, more Darj/Nepal type. Very pleasant. i love it. but its soo expensive. $45 for 2oz. i’m glad I picked this sample. i would buy it only if some crazy BF sale 40% off would happen on H&S which i doubt.

I think I liked resteep even more. It was bolder and smoother. Glad I tried.
I have the same want for a sale on their Panyang Golden.
Now I have to try Panyang Golden;)
Sample size. I hoard them. :)
Too bad they don’t sell samples in store. You have to buy 2oz min. On the other hand, last time I went there I asked if they can fix me a cup to try and they did. You know in this white tasting cup covered. It wasn’t busy they just opened the shop. So they didn’t force me to buy a cup in cafe area. It’s cheaper to buy 2 oz than a cup.
It’s cheaper long term to buy the 2 oz of Panyang than the samples, but I just can’t make myself do it all at once. :) And good to know about the 2 oz min. in store. I am planning to visit there on my trip in June and I’ve offered to bring tea back for people. That’s a helpful piece of information to know!
And I only see the Panyang Congou on their site at the moment. So that means I’m really hoarding the samples I have!
