About 8 grams in my usual 100ish ml yixing. Tea opened up with some promise. Had all the good Yiwu characteristics along with some deeper bass notes that gfz is known for. Fairly thick but not super dense like some of white2tea offerings. Through 3 or 4 steeps the tea was fruity and sweet, not much bitterness which was the first sign of trouble. Also those bass notes brown sugar, plums mushrooms were there. Around steep 5 or so the tea lightened significantly in both taste and body. Pushing it harder the next steep didn’t translate into a much better cup. Next steep I ramped up the water to full boil and went even longer. Results were once again disappointing. Got a watery thin cup.

I did one or 2 more but it just kept getting worse. Was really disappointed in this session considering that this is a pricey tea, right around 270 for a full cake. Puts it around the price range of both the Tuhao and Bosch from White2tea and either of those are leagues better. I’d put this closer to the poundcake and if your reading this which are less than half the price and have better durability. Only thing this was better at than those 2 cakes is qi and even that was light and short lived.

Shame to see this producer release a product like this when a year earlier their gfz got rave reviews

Well I figure I should fill this out beyond a joke about picking the pu out of a beeng hole….

Serious pu head, especially sheng. I’m always on the look out for a new and exciting puerh, educating myself in the process. I want to find the best, whether that be something cheap and simple or expensive and complex. Best to me is what brings me the most enjoyment when I drink it. I research endlessly and will freely pass along any knowledge and tea I discover along the way. I do enjoy the occasional oolong as well. I will drink other teas and enjoy them but generally won’t seek them out.

I also post a lot of really bad instagram photos. It serves as a visual journal to what I drink and how my tastes may or may not have changed over time.

As I said earlier I love to share both tea and knowledge so don’t be afraid to ask any questions or inquire about a swap, just PM me!
