I liked this one quite a bit more than the last time I tried it in May or so. It is maturing quite well – almost gone was the acidic sourness I got from it last time, and it also lacked most of the sour mushroomy note Huangpian seems to throw me most of the time. This tea was sweet and crisp vegetal through most of the session, with a little bit of tanginess. It had a thick texture and left a bit of a buzzy feel in my mouth – it felt quite active on my tongue. I’m glad this is the Huangpian I have a whole brick of, as it compares favorably to any of the others I’ve tried. I’m interested to see how it will develop over longer periods of time.

Well, now I’ll have yo break into mine too.
Yea I really didn’t enjoy it when we first got it in the club, but now it’s a nice one. Not a whole ton of depth or qi in my experience, but plenty tasty.
