After a few days of cold, spring has apparently returned to Ohio. To celebrate, I broke out some lighter teas—this one and a sample of W2T’s Huang Pian Basics.
So yeah, this tea and I didn’t get along so well before. This time I decided to go light on the tea (maybe 3.5 grams) and with cool water (160 degrees). The result? Delicious! The sour notes I hated so much are still there, but they sort of coat my throat this time with a nice thickness, instead of drying it out. The sour turns into this great hay sweetness, as well as that raw-puer-y sweet flavor I can’t really describe.
All in all, a great spring tea!
