Amazing how my experiences with these two Mu Ye Chuns has changed so much in the past 8 years. I’m different, the teas are different. This breaths smoked meat and vegetables, really beefy. Opens up with a lot of astringency, with a lot of thick sweetness. This hasn’t aged quite as much as the 001 did and at this point, I don’t like it as much as the 001 at this point in time, it has a really scratchy throat quality that makes the finish unenjoyable. My samples haven’t aged well in the past 8 years (although some of my cakes have), so I’m glad I’m paying more attention to the humidity of my teas.
