This is my first time trying Shui Jin Gui, or Golden Water Turtle. However, to me, this tea is best described as “weak.” The smell of the dry leaf is wonderful, but the flavor of the liquor is a bit of a let down. It is certainly smooth, but with no mouthfeel, low astringency, and a very very mild flavor, even when brewed with boiling water and longer times.
