7g, 100mL gaiwan. Had a friend over so no particular notes. Used Brita tap, so not sure if it was that, but this shone at the beginning and then wasn’t very exciting overall. Some nice florals in aftertaste, some warming initially that dispersed. Some light mushroominess and slight bitterness when pushed. Wasn’t as enamored as before, which could be the seasonal water variations? Idk. Didn’t have the extensive aftertaste in mouth or throat as before. Impression overall is that this still seems pretty soft (compared to my impression of the YS LBZ), and was good for introducing a beginner to a pleasant sheng with some age. Same issue generally with longevity though.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.
As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
