All the Shan Valley teas have been good, but to me this one was the most balanced. Smooth but very flavorful. It will probably end up being my favorite, but I want to give them all another try, as the other steepings were plagued by a combination of bad luck and my own ignorance. I kept steeping them a little too long, didn’t use enough leaf, etc., and while they really held up quite well, I bet they would be better prepared properly.
