The tea is perfectly stored – it has been fairly dry, with just enough humidity to allow the tea to age and transform.
The base material displays all the characteristics of old tree tea. It is thick and concentrated in the mouth and throat, has long steady & slowly evolving aftertaste. It’s very comfortable in the body. It also tastes like it’s homogenous, single-area tea. A slight astringency when pushed is the only real fault I can find with this tea.
Price wise – this tea can easily compete with teas 3-4 times it’s price. I don’t think we’d easily find tea like this at anywhere near this price for quite a while.

This is a really good tea. It has had enough storage to even it out and sweeten it but not too much as to wet age the sheng aspect away. It has a wheat granary style sweetness that I think David does a good job finding and storing. Long leaves and many hearty brews over a couple of days. Would write a touch more but this is no longer available in the market. Good tea, invigorating and a little buzzy kick in the mouth on the early steeps. Sweet water at the end.
