Compared to the 2019 version, this one seems darker, less fruity, and less complex. I still like its sweet and savoury nature a lot, it just isn’t as mindblowing. Main flavour notes are those of wood and blackberries in my first encounter with the tea.

Flavors: Blackberry, Sweet, Wood

Blind bought this cake a few months ago and was unimpressed with my first sampling even after a brief rest. This is my only black tea cake and I didn’t think it was worth getting a storage box for just one cake, not yet at least, so I threw it into my white tea cake box. I thought the aromas matched up really well.

Looks like the longer rest and storage improved it a bunch! I enjoyed it a lot more this time. Sweet honey, deep chocolate, and blueberries.

Happy one year gongfu-nniversary to me! It’s been about a year since I started brewing gongfu style. Looking forward to many more years of tea drinking.
