Brewed gong-fu, 180F short steeps. Long slender whole leaves. Rinse leaves a fruity, nutty, slightly vegetal and floral smell, very wonderfull smell. Pale yellow, straw-colored liquor. Taste reflects the smell very well- taste is subtle, but good and with complexity. Comforting hay-like taste as well. I haven’t tasted a ton of different whites but this makes sense to me to be an autumn picking. Later steeping gives almost a chocolately flavor that is maybe a deeper version of what I called hay. Smell is still my favorite aspect of this tea. Two thumbs up.
