The aroma and taste of the tea and flowers together is just exquisite. They complement each other with a spicy and sweet taste that lasts 10+ infusions.

Yunnan SourcingThe taste of chrysanthemums is stronger than the taste of shou. It has some sweetness, and is overall a harmonious combination of flavours. Not much aroma. The flowery taste blends well with the smooth mushroom-type flavour of the tea.
Flavors: Flowers, Mushrooms, Wet Wood
8g, gongfu, boiling water. The aroma of this tea: mushrooms and flowers, admittedly an odd combo but I love it. More of the florals come out with the wet leaf. The flavor is not as sweet as I thought it would be. It’s peppery actually. And yes – pickles. WHY PICKLES, WHY?
I have to come back to this tea another time, it’s just not working for me tonight!
Do you rinse
Pu’ers, always. Not always with other kinds though, just depends.
i rinse all chinese teas. Pickles, love them. not sure abt tea
is it sour taste? maybe it has dill note thats why reminds you of pickles. i just looked at other reviews and all of them mention pickles. hmm
I know, when I read the other reviews that mentioned pickles I thought they were mad! It’s not dill, maybe it’s just an odd sourness. I don’t know, I’ll have to come back to it another time.
From the Sheng and Shou TTB.
I picked a sample of this tea due to the unique addition of snow chrysanthemum. I’ve never tried snow chrysanthemum before and I liked the look of the cake with the little orange speckles.
It turns out, this is a nice, smooth, sweet ripe, with an odd taste. Kinda floral, kinda spicy, kinda like pickles as Sarsonator noted! I’m not a floral fan, but someone who is might like this. It has a good quality base. I guess I should have expected floral with it being studded with flowers and all. ;) Not bad, but not a flavor I’d seek out.
I’m leaving a note without a rating because I need to come back to this one.
It’s a lovely cake, loosely compressed. I measured out 5 grams, put it in my teapot and took a sniff. WHAT is that scent? Pause. Sniff. PICKLES!!!
But yeah, it smells like kosher dills. Before any of you smartasses suggest that I may be preggers, I assure you that I am not. :p
I brewed it up in spite of my nervousness, and the taste… also pickley. I admit to feeling a little run down, so it’s possible that I am getting sick and my sniffer may be off. I’m not congested this AM, but I feel like something is going on here. It’s a bit of a mystery.
If I try this again and get the same scents, I am going to send a few samples off to friends to see if it’s just me…
Lol, wonder who could help you elucidate this mystery!!
I think you are not used to the taste of the chrysanthemum, its a different sort of earthy than puerh.
I have had snow chrysanthemum loose and on its own and I thought it had a bit of a pickle-y dill aroma and taste, but it was pretty tasty and had other complex notes. I do admit I am curious to try this cake :P
TTF – You’ll be getting some of this soon… don’t worry.
Allan – I would agree that I am not used to it, but pickles? LOL
Amanda – I am going to give it another chance for sure. It was just so unexpected and not what I was looking for in a morning tea! Maybe a snack tea would be better!!!
Hehe good for sipping while nibbling on chips!
I had this tea too but in a slightly larger cake (100g). I know I didn’t like it that much either but can’t find my review on it.
Yeah, this is a 100g cake. Maybe Steepster ate your note… seems to happen to lots of peeps lately!
