Thank you Sil, for this sample!
I am a sucker for golden Yunnan teas, and this one is delicious. Rich and malty, with notes of dates, plums and slightly alcoholic tasting. Faint astringency, no bitterness.
I think I measured out 2g of this, and steeped it for 4 minutes at 96C.
Flavors: Alcohol, Dates, Malt, Plum

love swaps for not having to buy 50g-100g before tasting things! terri turned me on to this one!
Swaps are seriously the best.
yeah i hadn’t been swapping for a while…. yours was the first in a bit after i got burned by someone not swapping back :(
Boo, that sucks. I’ve only had one swap go bad, and I think the package coming to me must have got lost in the mail, because the person sending it had several other successful swaps under their belt. Sadly, they stopped being active on Steepster and so I was never able to follow up with them.
I haven’t sent out your package yet – I’m waiting for sample sized bags to come in the mail, as I ran out without realizing it, and they’re non-permeable, so really nice for tea.
no worries on sending it out later. i can handle the wait haha
Awww that’s so sad :(( I would be more than happy to send both of you a care package to makeup for the “lost” swap packages.
Aww that is so sweet Dexter. Don’t worry about me though – while I was looking forward to trying the teas I was swapping for, I’m not overall too worried about it. I have more tea than I know what to do with. And once I get organized, we will be setting up a swap anyway :)
hahaha dexter… you’ll send me tea regardless lol
