Long green strips, very pale liquor but a surprisingly strong tea, not mild and a long-lasting sweet finish. This reminded me of some Chinese chestnut teas when I was a kid. It’s creamy mouthfeel/throat feel is comforting with umami, honey, chestnuts, floral, vegetal notes.

I loved Valley Peak. Need to come back to it.
:D Great to hear.
I heard their Dragon Pearls green jasmine and Wild Arbor Buds White are really good too.
I haven’t had the Dragon Pearls. The Wild Arbor buds I have had and they do get great reviews but that style of tea isn’t my jam. I think I recall liking them better than YS’s, though they might be the same. I do enjoy the buds cold-brewed with some fresh basil in the warm months. Try them, they’re definitely a different and inoffensive tea leaf :)
hehe kk ^^
