From Tea Urchin

2013 has been a exceptional year for Shui Jin Gui 水金龟, so we have stocked up on this premium grade, fully handmade, zhengyan, Shui Jin Gui. Lightly roasted in mid-July, it’s ready to drink now. The leaves have been graded and are exceptionally beautiful & clean. There is no need to rinse this tea. Exceptional fragrance, and the later steeps are gloriously sweet.

Lightly roasted, sweeter than savoury (honey), a bit of cinnamon & almond. The liquor aroma is as good as the aroma from the gaiwan. Its pretty nice if you like more of a dessert aroma to your yancha. Some fruit in there as well as Orchid. Its not super thick/glossy/creamy/oily but sweet & smooth.

The first four steeps were the nicest, after that the taste and aroma faded into drinking soft pearly water, which is still nice, & with camphor hints that was quite interesting. By the 7th steep I was on 1:30. I think I did 0/5/8/20/30/1:00/1:30, but with half the recommended, 3.5g/100ml, 90-95c. Final steep 2:00 @100c

Premium price but a lovely experience. Next time I will bite the bullet & do 7g/100ml and flash it with boiling water – I think it can take it, and a longer session will be greatly appreciated.
