20 Tasting Notes
This is a refreshing alternative to the ordinary Tie Guan Yin! In fact, I think this may replace unroasted Tie Guan Yin on my cup board! Nice consistent flavor with no huge surprises, but very pleasant nonetheless.
Flavors: Astringent, Plum, Roasted, Sweet

Finally, my tea samples came in! Getting down to the nitty-gritty, this tea is really pleasant! Really juicy and floral, and no discernible bitterness. This is definitely going on my “buy again” list!
Flavors: Floral, Smooth, Sweet, Warm Grass
Preparation
This was a really pleasant tea, and this means something coming from a person who doesn’t often enjoy straight black tea! I prepared this gong fu style, and it performed very well! A lot of chocolate, but there are some lower notes of nuts and baked goods
Flavors: Bread, Chocolate, Cocoa, Roast Nuts
Preparation
This is a really nice and complex tea! Made gong fu style, this tea will really take you on a journey to discover the flavors. Once you think you have it figured out, the next steep brings out even different flavors! Really nice value
