Received as a sample size from a friend. The first time I’ve gotten mint and a light camphor out of a tea. Definitely different, and really quite refreshing. This 17 year old tea has mellowed into a nice drinker with just a little astringency on the finish. No bite.

Flavors: Astringent, Camphor, Mint

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 1 min, 0 sec 11 g 5 OZ / 150 ML
Barsomn

I don’t know how many infusions these leaves have held up to so far but, I’m still brewing! Tasty.

Not sure what I will do once I run out of these lovely coins, down to 4 or about 2 sessions’ worth.

90-100 Stellar, to be displayed proudly if shared with guests. Or just a tea that hits its mark well.
80-90 I enjoy this tea a lot, would purchase and drink it. Fine if it lives in the pantry
70-80 Above Average, would drink it and probably still buy if the mood struck me.
50-70 Average, I would still drink it when available.
0-50 I don’t care for this tea, and have no desire to care for it.
