I have been drinking this tea for a while and my good opinion on it has not changed. It is certainly better than other basic Chinese teas from Harney and Sons that I tried (their Keemuns or Yunnan). It has a nice sweet and smoking aroma and the taste, if you let it steep for several minutes – this tea is not suitable for short gaiwan steepings – is eminently enjoyable. Honeyed sweetness, nuttiness, baked bread, a hint of smoke, some overripe dark berries…

If you are on a budget and looking for a solid Fujian tea you cannot go wrong with this one.

I like to drink teas to recreate a specific mood, or just to take a break at work. The world of tea is so endless, patiently waiting for exploration and rewarding you in many ways big and small.

I am looking forward to years of playing with tea leaves, gaiwans, cups, and YouTube videos.

My ratings:

90 or more – a very good/excellent tea, I can see myself ordering it again.

80-89 – it is a good tea, I enjoyed it but not enough to reorder.

70-79 – an OK, drinkable tea but there are certainly much better options even in the same class/type.

60-69 – this tea has such major flaws that you have to force yourself to finish what you ordered.

<60 – truly horrible teas that must be avoided at all costs.
