Crazy sweetness! I had to double check this one. I even cleaned out my cup a couple time with boiling water and wiped thoroughly. Very pleasant sugar cane taste and Dian Hongcha likeness. There are some light grassy notes, but these are brief and towards the back of the throat.

Definitely enjoying this one. It has changed quite a bit from last year – its bitter and super dry astringency. There is only a small amount of dryness now, but it is very good. Adds to the lingering sweetness.

This has been on my shopping list for a while. Thanks for the review of it.

mrmopar – with the spring leaves and how it is really starting to show off its sweetness and character, I recommend it. If you want to try it some time, drop me a message with your address I’ll send your sample. :)

I’m a southern boy that that continues to have an intense love for high quality loose leaf tea! This is no doubt, a passion I intend to enjoy and pursue for the rest of my life! I love the art of tea, and the expression of it’s culture in each cup.

Typically, I’m a straight tea and loose-leaf type of drinker. Black teas (especially Taiwanese blacks), Greener Oolong and Sheng Pu-erhs are top on my list!

Don’t get me wrong though, I do like me some darker, roasted oolongs, shu puerhs, greens and whites are a must as well!
