-Not my bag

These leaves are the tiny curled style similar to bi luo chun. They produced a light green with a tint of yellow liquor or straight yellow depending on steep time/temp. The tastes I got (realizing this is almost a year old and some flavors might have dissipated), was beany I would say cross between lima beans and white great northern beans. A slight sweetness in the first steeping but that was about it. It lasted about average amount of steeping for a green not super longevity but I’ve had one or two teas fade quicker

I personally wouldn’t drink it again not into the beany profile and with so much great tea in my cabinet and only drinking a few a day I cant see myself purchasing or drinking any of the samples I have. Not a terrible tea but not good enough for me personally

I try to refrain from numerically rating a tea until I have tried brewing at least an oz of it with various different parameters and vessels (hotter/colder water, longer/shorter times, yixing/gaiwan etc)
