Really enjoyed this sample from BTTC. Its fruity flavor and lush fragrance reminds me a lot of some of the Shan Lin Xi teas I’ve had.
The tea leaves are tightly rolled into giant green nuggets and smell intensely floral and creamy. It brews up vegetal and a little tart in the beginning followed by a rich and robust pear like fruitiness, flowers, and a tangy mineral flavor.
An excellent tea for the money. I would definitely pick up some more on my next BTTC order.

I’m very tempted to get some myself. I’ve been trying to find good Gaoshans that are heavy on the fruity and floral notes but lighter on the veggie. Could this fit that description at all? And I’ve had Shan Lin Xi’s. Misty Mountain was a stable, but I was not as happy with it this year as I was the first time I had it.
I don’t remember it being too fruity or floral, just nicely balanced. I liked Misty Mountain and would rate this one above that tea.
Cool, thank you!
Daylon, can you make a list of these teas – i’ll do the same, as that is exactly what i’m after as well. Maybe add them to the thread you made so we have a go-to list for lovely jades
Good idea.
