First time trying Golden Monkey, or Jin Sihou. This is pretty good tea. Smooth mouthfeel and a beautiful color to the liquor. Medium-low astringency at 205 F. Basically nonexistent bitterness. Might try a bit hotter next time to see how that changes the flavor profile.
Main drawback is the high amount of broken leaves/tea dust in the samples.
Dry leaf: STRONG, beautiful apricot
Wet leaf: Malt, chocolate.
Taste: Honey, lasting aftertaste of brown sugar.
Flavors: Apricot, Brown Sugar, Chocolate, Honey, Malt
