This tea invokes an imagery association within me more than it pushes me to analyze its aromas and flavors. I feel like a butterfly recently metamorphosed and sipping wildflower-scented dew in the sun. I don’t put any stock into that feeling, meaning this tea is no better because of the imagery. It’s definitely the lightest of the three Lishan I’ve tried recently. More lemon mineral water that induces salivation, asian pear and honeydew. Some very light vegetal, nothing pronounced. Thick but not very sweet. Florals are present, stronger in the nose than in the mouth, like I can smell them on the breeze but don’t have my face buried in a bouquet. Barely any astringency. Could be a good daily drinker due to its lightness and it performs well both gongfu and western. I can’t say I’m inclined to purchase more. Somebody with a more refined palate might appreciate more than I do.
I think it’s Spring 2018 harvest based on website info but the envelope has no date.

It was too light and vague the first time I tried it. I’ve started to prefer lighter teas now then I did back then, but I’m personally hesitant with how they priced this one. It’s not bad, but I’ve had a few that compared. Then again, I would have to try this years harvest to have a fully informed opinion because I had the 2015 winter.
I do enjoy the lightness but if you’re saying it’s expensive for what it is, I agree.
That is what I am saying :)
