Gongfu!
About a week ago I spent an evening hanging out with Marika and those we mostly just ate pizza and other junk-y fast foods and shot the shit we did, of course, have to make time for a little bit of tea.
This was something from her collection that another tea friend had recently shared with her, and it was a very good Bao Zhong. The dry leaf aroma smelled incredibly of fresh lilacs, and the taste was even better. Smooth and light to medium bodied with so much fragrant floral notes overtop a clean, crisp grassy green base. Very round and coating on the palate with a lingering aftertaste that doubled down on the lilac while introducing an elderflower-like element too.
