Okay, I got a bit more out of this session than the one that preceded it. This Wuyi is not an immediate favorite, but it was pleasant and subtly interesting — I look forward to revisiting.
Sesame seeds on the nose, along with some funk in both the nose and first sip. Dark mushrooms, maybe. I didn’t keep such good track of my steeps today, but subsequent flavors I found included soy sauce, smoke, and cocoa.
Aroma and flavor seemed to fade rather quickly; I don’t think I got more than 5-6 steeps out of this tea before it got watery and I lost interest.
Flavors: Cocoa, Mushrooms, Sesame, Smoke, Soy Sauce
