Not a fan of this tea. It’s not terrible. This is already my third steeping but my palate doesn’t seem to jive with it. The initial aroma was nice. Woodsy. But the wet aroma is sparse. Slightly reminiscent of a cold day. There’s that something in the very cold air that is also found in the cup. The flavor is all over the place. Earthy but I can’t quite place what I am tasting. Like a brittle desert wood. With a rose?

I haven’t tried gong fu yet, but I don’t think I’ve gotten the hang of how best to brew this one either.

That’s sad. I remember it as an exceptional tea! Maybe it hasn’t aged well?

It’s possible. There’s so many factors that can affect things

Indeed there are.

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.

I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
