Today i got my Aliexpress order which i placed on 11/08. super fast. the tea is pretty good. I’m not sure whats the real name of it because it doesnt look like traditional DHP. Leaves are thin, medium long, golden tips. i quiet enjoyed a gongfu session of it this afternoon
6g 100ml gaiwan 195F
rinse/ 3/5/5/7/10/10 sec etc
the dry leaves smell incredibly like dark rye bread. there are some chocolate, rye bread, raw nuts noticed. Slight tobacco and sweet potato shows up in later steeps . this tea and Laoshan Black are seem to be related. i wonder whats the real cultivar name of it.
i purchased it thru this seller

Yum, it sounds quite different then the one I have from them. The one I have is quite floral as I remember it.
It looks like the price on that is cheap, only $6.78 for 150g. Can’t go wrong with that if it is decent tea.
Allan it was a sale. It back to $11. I can send you a sample if you want. I got another DHP fr the same seller. It’s ok but not great
Looking closer at the website they raised the price but it is still cheap. I may have to buy some.
Allan if you don’t need it right away. Wish list it, they often have sales, also look for their other promotional offers. They often have further deals combining other items.
beautiful colour.
