Did a side by side with this and some Bai Ji. This is by far more along my taste preference. Strong mineral presence with a beautiful hue to it. Still a bit pricey for what it is since there are no complex notes occurring throughout the session. Maybe my taste is looking for fruit and sweetness in places that they don’t exist so I don’t enjoy the tea as much… but there are wuyi like teas out there with plums and stonefruits. This just seems roasty with minerals which are good, but in terms of what would I buy… Laoshan Roasted Oolong and dancongs multiple times before this again.

I had a similar reaction to the Huang Mei Gui, and from what I understand, it is similar to the Mei Zhan. I’m hoping to get to this tea before the end of the week. I liked the other, but I thought it was a bit odd and I kept looking for more complexity.
I had a Mei Zhan (my first) from Chadao & it was lovely – caramel rich, thick, fruity (citrus) & floral, with some turkish delight & rose. The smoke was nutty. http://steepster.com/rasseru/posts/341962
