Now…adjectives! :)
This is a magnificent tea. It reminds me of Harney’s Keemun Mao Feng without any smoke. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be RICH. It has that same intense richness that I love in KMF. That magical fruity/floral on the end of the sip. I am on my second steep and it still remains completely powerful and delicious!
To me, it tastes like an entirely different beast than Tan Yang Te Ji! Not like a more refined version but rather a smokeless Keemun Mao Feng.
YUM. I love, love, love it.

Funny, your experience is completely different from mine. I thought they were very similar, but the Te Ji more sort of… wild. I like that wildness so I prefer the Te Ji. Of course I also did my comparison side by side, which I’m not sure is always really an advantage.
Yes, it’s interesting! I was thinking the same thing when I tasted it. I remembered your and Auggy’s tasting notes and thought it was wild that I was getting thoughts about Keemun Mao Feng instead!
It’s just one of those things that prove that it’s impossible to do it wrong. We can never replicate each others’ experiences. :) If it wasn’t for the hairy price tag on it, I would be tempted to give it another shot. At that particular price though? I can control myself. :)
