Is this tea really a GFZ? Who knows? My experience with “known genuine, pure aged gfz” is nonexistant, I just got a sample for the educational value as usual. Smooth, creamy and overall pretty amazing texture and mouthfeel. Sweet, nice humidity, coats the mouth and throat, good huigan, balanced astringency, good storage. Leaves are excellent quality, going strong at 9 steeps now.
With todays prices it’d be a no-brainer at $0.40, probable buy at $0.50, but it’s stuck at “maybe” for $0.70. It’s quite a bit of money and from first impressions I’m not convinced the value is there for me. I will consider it closely with the remainder of the sample though, because it is thoroughly enjoyable and good longevity, which to some extent can offset a high price..
Recommend getting a sample.

Liking the reviews. Appreciate the straightforward, honest assessment of value.
Thanks! My value judgement is not anyone else’s course :)
It just seems more important for clarifying my thoughts than “hints of spice in the Nth infusion”, especially for teas I don’t own.. so I decided to write it down
Yep! Agreed.
