I just got this tea in my much-delayed Yunnan Sourcing shipment! Ordered about a month ago, and apparently the package went through customs hell… The Chinese post found drugs in the cargo crate and every shipment was opened one by one. So when the box arrived at my door, all battered and bruised…well my hopes were low.

Fortunately, this tea is awesome! First of all, the price is simply incredible. $12 for 250g is unbelievably cheap, and plus the fact that this is organic(!) makes this a steal. The tea itself is delish, thick and sweet. It’s heavy on the cherrywood flavor, and it’s got a sweet fruitiness in the aftertaste. Reminds me a little of the 2013 Yunnan Sourcing Mini Tous, which I’ve also tried. The tea doesn’t go quite as long as I’d like—it’s not one of those that’s going to keep going strong all day—but it’s still delicious and an absolutely killer value!

Edit: also, it’s a cute little mushroom! What more could you ask for?
