- Notes
- Prominent sour acidity on the side of the tongues. Lid smell shows some sign of activity. Quite aromatic on the flavor -- processing seems to lean in that direction. Okay material. Definitely differs from the claim, or Gushu teas are weaker in general than expected. Tea seems unblended with other regions and a good representation of the grove, meaning that it seems less likely to me that it's actually proper Gushu. Really short and shallow finish. Some sweet flavors lingering. Decent thickness at front and mid palate, but dissipates. Decent concentration. Good warmth, but a bit chilling betweeen cups.
- Thoughts
- Overall, fairly decent, the material claims bother me quite a bit, same with age. But pleasant enough and better than what's out there, although it really lacks in the coating department
