drank 2008 Chawangshu by Bi Yun Hao
306 tasting notes

5.7g, 90 mL ZZZ

wet leaf: berries, campfire smoke, BBQ, inky sweet

1. spices. woody, fruity in throat. spaced out heady. some underlying bitterness

2. dark, medicinal, smoke, woody, grassy. something sour incense like lingering sweetness in throat

3. greener in taste. mushroom-y finish

4. indistinct woody

5. softly sweet. mugged

I like this tea, though longevity leaves something to be desired across a lot of my BYH teas. Split a partial cake with a tea friend and haven’t seen more full cakes offered by TWL since the initial offering in March. Though given the cost (1.30/g after shipping), I would not go out of my way to buy more.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.

As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
