I’m just trying this tea now and was wondering if you had tried it gongfu. I’m three steeps in, and something truly strange is happening with this tea. The menthol and berry notes one would get out of a Taiwanese Yu Chi Assam or Wild Mountain Black are popping right now, and the aftertaste just keeps getting stronger. It’s like a big hit of fruit and mint on the front end followed by tons of malt, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, chocolate, roasted nuts, and sweet potato. It’s bizarre, but I can’t say it’s unpleasant. Did you ever get anything like that? Maybe it’s just the way I’m brewing it.
I did have 2 gongfu sessions which were remarkably similar to western steepings.
The tea was cooling in general but I didn’t get any upfront menthol, nor berry.
Because of your comment, I opened my packet of What-Cha’s Yu Chi Assam yesterday for comparison. What you got out of that tea is waaay different than what I did.
If anything, this tea reminds me most of Whispering Pines Premium Taiwanese Assam but lacking oomph. I do look forward to your review :)
