3rd: more bland. mushroom finish.

4th: nice texture still. medicinal, mushroom-y, and floral finish

5: mushroom, some bitter in finish

6. medicinal

7. sweet water

mugged it after and it was still nice tea water.

I think some of the nice texture has to do with water as my Brita filter really needs changing but I’ve been lazy. For whatever reason, teas have a better texture now. Credit where it’s due however— this tea is very engaging, and I don’t say that lightly. Unfortunately, the price point about matches. Hou De posted this as a 400g cake, but I think it’s a 357g, since mine came in at 330g. At any rate, at around the same price/g (~$1.30) as the BYH 04 Yiwu, I much prefer this. Need to try the DTH 04 Yiwu again and see how it stacks up, since none of these are particularly cheap.
