I got this cake from Nomad.sk because I was ordering a teapot, and for the shipping cost, it made sense to add some more items. I used google translate to get the site into English. Confession: I bought this one because of the pretty wrapper. I lucked out though, because it’s very good!
Method: 6g, 6 oz, 200 degrees, rinse-rest-10-15-20-etc, sheng yixing and Goldie
Aroma: VERY lightly smoked fruit
Flavor: Springy, fruity, and very lightly floral. This tea is quite smooth with only a tiny kick of astringency and bitterness at the end. But really not much. I think that my gamble paid off! I’m on the 5th steep at 30 seconds and it’s only getting better.

Gorgeous wrapper. So you chose this to be the gold cup’s maiden voyage? :D
LOL last night I christened Goldie with the Jade Dew cake that I got from Mandala. I wanted our first date to be a tea that I know I like!
This is our second date, so I decided to try something totally new. :)
:D
Nice!
Feeling a nice tea drunkeness and a little scratch at the back of my throat now.
Yay! Beautiful cake, beautiful pics :-)
