Got given this as a sample in my Mi Lan Xiang (Honey Orchid Aroma) order, which turned out to be Gu Jiaju Xiang (Ancient Furniture Aroma).
I like this TGY. Its not amazing but its ok for day-to-day drinking. You get the guan yin floral flavour and aroma, some creaminess and nuts in there. A soft vegetal thickness present too.
I oversteeped it a bit to test and it did go bitter, but nothing too bad. A slight astringency.
I would defo buy some of these to give out to all my mates as gifts, and then if anyone appreciates the taste I can go all tea mad on them.
Flavors: Cream, Floral, Nuts, Vegetal

“Tea mad” lol My family has learned to venture into my tea cupboard when I’m not there. Otherwise I’m the quintessential overzealous saleswoman.
Ah, likewise. “What happens when you get over this tea phase?” “I’ve been in this so-called ‘tea phase’ for almost five years—pretty sure it’s not going away.” lol
