Think the peanut profile of a Dragonwell with the backdrop of a Japanese green (grass, grass, and more delicious sweet grass). I’m having a hard time finding anything negative to say about it. I’m seriously thinking of swapping my essential but problematic (ie.- pollution prone) Dragonwells for this tea type.
Thanks for the the sample, Teabento- I’ll be playing with this one all Easter! It’s also nice to be reminded of the existence of Pikas.

By pollution-prone, do you mean easily contaminated by the fragrances of other teas?
I’ve seen a few tea shops market their Dragonwell as “clean options/cultivators” because Hangzhou in general is building up a reputation for air and water pollution. Not sure if that’s supposed to be a marketing gimmick, defamatory or a real concern with this tea type/area, but it has made me a little hesitant. :/
Wow!
Well, truly, China is seriously polluted. I wasn’t in Hangzhou, but Guangzhou for example had pollution so thick that it felt and looked like a perpetual ceiling.
I’ve only been to Shanghai, which is an extreme case in such a huge country, but maaan was the pollution bad- in what is otherwise an incredible city.
