A very fine tea with earthy sweet notes. The tea brews very clean and clear with a wonderful bouquet.

Smokey, tobacco, sweet fruit (apricots?), smooth. Do not push this one too hard or it will be very astringent. Start with VERY short (3-5 sec) steeps for this first 5 steepings. I used 10 grams in 130 ml Jianshui pot. Next time will only use 7 grams. God solid tea. Easy to drink and enjoy.

Received as a sample when ordering a couple of other Tieguanyin. Light color brew with alight to medium body. Some floral notes, very light peach and a bit of smokiness.

Got a 20 gram sample of this tea. Must say I was quite impressed. Brewed up a deep orange color. I did 8 steepings of 10 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec and 1 minute. Flavor is good…smokey, damp wood, tobacco and raisins.

Flowers, vegetal, nice light gold color

Had my first taste of the Old Warrior 2000 this afternoon. Clean, fresh earth, mulch, minerals and tree bark. Smooth as silk and a very dark amber brew. This is outstanding and highly recommended.

Dark, woody, shitake mushroom. Smooth and delicious. Glen recommended that I try this one and I got a sample. A full cake of this is in order.
