This is the high end Ya Shi from TeaDrunk, nearly broke the bank but it’s well worth the price. Overtly fragrant with lychees, orange blossom honey, and a hint of smokiness. The soup is enrapturing with a mid level butteriness and then flavors of lychee fruit , magnolia and a slight sourness at the finish which is surprisingly inviting given all of the over the top sweet sensations that come before. If you have the cash this tea has the flavor.

I visited their flagship NY store. Nice people and excellent teas, but none within my budget. I think with them, you almost are forced to aim high to get the most value for your buck.
Yes it is very expensive, though the quality is the best I’ve ever tried. If you’re ever in town shoot me a line and first pot is on me.
That sounds very up my street. Nice one

Just looked at the price. Welp.

Haha I’m uk based but thanks for the kind offer. . Hopefully getting a payrise soon so I might just have to take the plunge & get some, even if just a sample. Ya Shi is firmly up there with some of my favourite tea experiences, I find it intoxicating
