Got a generous freebie of this from Yunnan Sourcing at some point, and I’m working actively on clearing room for 2016 samples. It starts out mostly vegetal, and moves into fruity, and keeps on going, and going, … I could not brew it out yesterday, still potent today, after at least 10 steeps yesterday. Energizing, aggressive, durable and dynamic is how I would sum it up. The only negative for me is that it’s somewhat unbalanced early on, which I’m sure will change with age, or to some extent with parameters.

At $0.275/g, it’s just a touch more expensive than the w2t middle tier; a top deal if you like’em young & wild. If I hadn’t already overstocked on 2015 teas, I would get it immediately. I am probably still getting it. Just not today, I think. Maybe I will just get samples of the different years. Watching this one closely either way.

edit: just to clarify, this tea is potent. If you want mellow, look elsewhere.
