Opens very slowly, and never quite completely in my brewing equipment. A mild tea, with some complexity developing during later (7+) steeps. Has a ‘dusty,’ aged taste, but nothing overwhelming. Pleasant – but for me, not enough so to be worth the relatively high price. Brewed in zi ni, it’s somewhat reminiscent of the (much less expensive) 2015 Gao Jia Shan “Cha Duo Tang” Wild Harvested Hunan Fu Brick Tea, which is one of my favourite teas, but milder.

Bummer this one didn’t open up well for you. I found it quite the treat. Looking at my note, I brewed this in a tall Taiwanese clay pot with an amount of tea that would normally produce a weak brew in that pot.
Maybe the pot I used was too small – I’ll have to try it in a larger pot.
