The tea is great. It has a really intense nutty flavor and somewhat soft texture. It handles grandpa brewing with boiling water and general inattentiveness well. I wanted to try Longjing this year, and started with the heirloom variety. This one is actually cheaper than some offerings, not coming from the direct Lion's Peak/Shifeng area. However, I honestly think the Guyu Longjing offering is a much better value, especially in any bulk. The difference in quality is not comparable to the 4x difference in price. Still worth it if you love green tea or get very excited for the qingming tea season.
I like it. I can drink it every now and then but this kind of puerh usually gives me an uncomfortable sensation on the tongue if I drink it often. Simple, nothing fancy, on par with the standard puerh from the region for me.
This is such an interesting tea! It's very earthy and dank but with an underlying sweetness that comes out more and more with each steep.
Very nice spicy, fruity Hong Cha. Brews great in Gong Fu and Cold Brew.
