This tea is really quite good. It’s roast profile is really light which in my opinion is good. There was no unpleasant roast flavor. The tea had a nice sweet flavor to it, not sure what to call the note. I ordered the GABA sampler from Taiwan Sourcing and this is the first I’m trying. I can’t say I felt any effect from the GABA though. That is somewhat disappointing. I did steep this gongfu style and ten steeps so I drank enough tea. This order has also left a sour taste in my mouth. A tea that I ordered 75g of was not sent in the proper quantity, a 25g sample was sent in it’s place. We will see if Scott at Yunnan Sourcing does the right thing and ships a replacement. The 25g sample portion was actually marked 75g. Most annoying. This tea however was what I can only call steller. The fact that it tasted so sweet to me and I added no sugar to it is a testament to the processing skills of the tea maker in Taiwan.
I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.1g leaf and 190 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min.

Did you email Scott about it? He seems always to correct any mistakes.
I’ve been weighing my samples for some time now and they are usually correct to within one gram, but being 50 grams out is something else.
Sent Scott an email. He asked for a photo of it on the scale. I sent two, one where you can see the name of the tea. Hopefully he will send a replacement. I now have to wait while he looks at the photos. He wanted to send it to his guy in Taiwan.
Scott got back to me and says he will send the missing 50g of tea.
Scott is a reputable seller. I’ve only had two goofs in the many orders I’ve placed over the past couple of years and he made good on both of them.
