From the Pu TTB:
Starts off super clean and refreshing. Moderate bitterness and florals. Notes of honey, rock sugar, and clorophyll. Actually more than moderate bitterness. Later steeps reveal hints of dry white wine and sandalwood. I enjoyed this one a lot, definitely among my top young sheng.
Flavors: Floral, Green, Honey, Mineral, White Wine
Tea addict since around 2011.
My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.
Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.
Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.
I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.

I drank this one prepared to find it super-bitter, and later realized I’d been reading notes about a previous year’s version. I thought this was pretty sweet.
Yeah definitely not as super bitter as I was expecting, but still more than average I think
