This tea is from a sample sent by Misty Peak Teas. This tea brewed in a 185 ml yixing teapot was a light orange colored soup, had some citrus hints and a touch of orchid aroma, and was fairly smooth, but felt closed in by astringency on the back of my tongue. Hard to evaluate this young, I enjoyed the orange citric flavor and smoothness, but found its ageworthiness difficult to evaluate because of its astringent youth. Judgement reserved.

Hey Javan, how do you find this tea? I have been considering their cakes for a while.. but they are somewhat pricey.

Misty Peak made an offer on Steepster requesting $1.50 for a sample of their tea. I responded and they sent the tea. I like their philosophy but need another pot of this tea in a few years to really evaluate it for ageability.
