5.9g, 90mL, boiling, mixed water
1. bitterness that dissipates immediately into candied florals on tongue. bit of medicinal woody taste and maybe watermelon rind white part. some oversteeped hongcha taste reminiscent of the 04 nannuo gushu from TWL. Engaging and dyamic
2. more medicinal taste. heating, and sinking in center chest
3. dull leaf taste like most of my YQH. nothing like steeps 1 and 2
4. still dull, but feeling seems intact
5. kill steep. sappy mushroom taste and some bitterness when cooled
this is the second time I’ve had this tea and maybe the cake edges are just not very good compared to when i had the MZ. Will need to revisit down the line bc for the hype this tea gets, both sessions w this were disappointing. I guess I’m glad to have a cake to revisit, since the other tea I remember being amazing upfront and then dying almost immediately was one of the YQH jinchas. An experience akin to fireworks…
