A note to say goodbye. I was going to try to hang onto these for a long time but I didn’t have the patience. An inattentive mind can be a virtue.
After 3 years, I don’t think there’s been much change. Still a good tea. It is lower toned than when fresh. Nectar-silky body with clean, delicate tones of creamed honey, tobacco-malt-yam, melon, dates, cream and butter, eucalyptus cool. Probably more aromatic than flavorful, which in the nose, it also has a Cabbage Patch doll baby powder-powdered sugar-soft vanilla scent that I get in Yunnan white teas. Such a unique note.
These dragon balls were formed too tightly to unfurl on their own. Good tea to grandpa if you can pull the leaf apart.
