Not Recommended
Too simple of a green. I got the 2022 harvest of this tea from my recent YS order, and it just doesn’t possess the quality. Beautiful 10/10 leaves though, with a decent but slightly weak aroma and a vibrant liquor. Flavour is underwhelmingly unidimensional and weak, texture is mediocre, character is mediocre. Finish & aftertaste is also, well, mediocre. Cha-qi is non-existent and steep longevity is poor, topping out at steep 4-5.

I was curious about this tea when I saw it on YS. Sorry to hear it was a disappointment. Reminds me of my experience with Tai Ping Hou Kui. Gorgeous leaves but just tastes like hot water.
Yea, YS isn’t known for its greens.
