Also drank this during my virtual tea session tonight. I noted ‘dark sweet raisins, with a bit mineral notes at the back of the mouth/throat. Astringent, but not bitter.’ I only got 5 steeps in before pausing for the evening. I was getting the tea sweats/energy that comes with semi-aged teas. I need to take a breather for the night, allow the leaf to dry out, and start earlier in the afternoon. Strong tea drunkenness, though.

Good bang for the buck on this one.

I completely agree! From my experience in researching, a lot of aged material is expensive and/or requires loops to jump through to obtain. This was one of the first aged teas that had some semi-wet storage to it (Guangdong) in my collection.

I love finding these little gems that are sometimes overlooked.

Drinking down a lot of my teas in 2020. I may not observe these sessions as much as I’d like, but I’ll note them, when the mood strikes.
