For the first try of this tea I broke of 10 grams and brewed it for 5 seconds. This is one strong tea! Later I found that 3 grams is more than enough. There is a flavour in this tea that reminds me of some White2Tea teas I have previously drank. It is that concentrated herbyness.
Well this tea certainly does not lack raw strength. It has a lot of smoke (peppery smoke) and a lot of bite. The tea itself looks highly compressed, but it actually breaks apart very easily. I decided not to take specific notes on this tea because I don’t think it is ready to drink yet, and instead decided to say how strong it was. I will continue to drink it until I get round to making my first order from Yunnan Sourcing, where I hope to get some more interesting teas.
Flavors: Pepper, Smoke
