Texture is very oily and smooth with an almost unnoticeable bitterness. The aroma is sweet, fruity, honey-like with a tiny bit of booziness. It also has a note that reminds me of a medicinal beverage named Banlangen. I used the Fujian/Taiwan Gongfu tea method to brew this tea with a gaiwan as brewing vessel. I described this tea purely from memory so I gotta drink it one more time to get the maximum experience.
