This is a very nice Wu Yi for those on a budget. Solid notes of caramel, cinnamon, baking spice, and peanut shell on the arrival. A “wet rock” minerality develops on the palate. The finish brings up juicy and tangy fruit flavors of red currant, gooseberry, and tart raspberry. There is also an interesting nutty creaminess in the aftertaste, coupled with a lingering aftertaste that fades into a slight mintiness.

92-95 – So good that I will purchase this tea again, guaranteed. Excellent flavor and value.
88-91 – A tea that I would consider purchasing again at some point. Great flavor and value.
85-87 – Tea that was worth the purchase and that I enjoyed drinking, although I probably won’t be purchasing it again any time soon. Flavor may have slight drawbacks, or the price might be a little expensive.
80-84 – A tea that has some good points, but falls a bit short on its price:quality ratio. Flavor is a bit mediocre.
No rating – I did not like this tea and would not drink it, given other options.
