Starts good, but doesn’t keep up for long.. if it went on longer I’d consider buying a cake.

Seems to me that this price range is one of the more difficult ones to compete in.. A ton of teas in this category, and most have one major compromise. Add 20% and you can find some really well rounded teas. subtract 20% and you can find teas that aren’t that far behind.

This is a nice Sheng, with bright taste and a decent brewing longevity.
It’s main problem is the tough competition at this price range..

most of BLT teas are quite good, but not this one.. at least in my opinion.
I honestly felt like drinking some kind of flavored drink.
At first it was cool, as it was VERY citrus-y, but then..
it’s very cheap though, and I do wonder what (a lot of) age would do to these extreme flavors..
(also, seems like a bunch of people liked it, and at such a low price sampling it couldn’t hurt..)

This is a great daily drinker!

If your looking for a sweet Sheng with a decent mouthfeel and inexpensive you can’t go wrong with this one.. it gives 8 good brews, which is really good for the price.

You can try it in the ‘palate’ sample pack, though it costs about a fifth of this cake, and it’s by far the best of the bunch (the Jingmai and Bulang were cute, and the 4th not so much).

I’ve bought a cake after sampling, and would buy more if I was currently looking for daily drinkers..

This is a relatively simple tea, but VERY effective.
The way I see it, this is what every standard commercial tea would like to taste like.
And it’s not that expensive, and a joy to drink WS or GFS.

Actually, I don’t understand how this is the only one of it’s kind that I’ve had, seeing that it’s exactly a “next level Lipton!”(product page).

If you like scented teas and Taiwanese Oolongs you should try this tea, as it is good, and naturally scented. It and their Orange scented one are the Best scented/flavored teas I’ve had, not-including high quality jasmine teas.

As I’m not a fan of scented teas, I can’t help but compare it as a green Oolong to the other teas on the site, which it does unfavorably (the un-scented oolongs there are really good).. it only makes sense, taking into account the work put in to scenting.

This tea tastes like a combination of green Oolong and green tea, since that’s exactly what it is.
The flavor is mostly good milky Oolong (JinXuan), but you can feel the green processing in the mouthfeel and also a little in the taste, which makes this tea different enough to have around..

I like it

I’ve had both this and last year’s Old Master Black, and enjoyed both immensely.
If you are interested in uncommon and unique Blacks this is well worth the (not low) price.

Highly Recommended
