Another sample. What a nice green tea this is, even a year after harvest. The dry leaves smell like shrimps to me, while the wet leaves have an aroma reminiscent of long jing. Taste is very delicate, somewhat sweet, grassy and floral. I find it has a great balance of flavours and doesn’t lack complexity. In the aftertaste, I notice some honeydew melon notes. Liquor is full-bodied and the mouthfeel is very soft. A great tea overall, I would describe it as a midpoint between long jing and a green baozhong.
edit: I just keep increasing the rating. This is probably the best green tea I’ve ever had. I have nothing to object to really. It induces a very nice body warming sensation as well!

Your umami descriptors are hilarious to me.
Shreemps!
The flavor profile sounds intriguing! I love floral teas and this appears to be right up my alley
Yeah, I don’t know if Sabrina is sourcing this one again this year, but I would like to get some if she does.
