518 Tasting Notes
I liked this one quite a bit. Smooth and easy drinking, and just a touch sweet. I got several infusions out of this one.
My gongfu session lasted right about 2 hours

I was not sure I liked the aged taste in this tea, had what I would describe as a bamboo taste but some have used the word leather. I plan to try it again and I am thinking of breaking up a tuo cha and placing it in a yixing tea caddy.

I did this one gongfu. Very nice. Roasty and flavorful.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it’s available anymore, or I’d probably have ordered it.
I’m lucky to have gotten some of this tea.
rich and delicious. The vanilla and saffron blend in perfectly with the golden monkey ad the keemun.
And I know you’re all jealous.
The aroma is amazing. The tea is outstanding.

I love the color, and the way the little threads of saffron just pop right out. Saffron adds an amazing little touch to it.
Oooh. I like this one.
Well, that is until I accidentally oversteep it by a bunch. But it was okay after a couple infusions after I dumped the really oversteeped one.
Nice and easy drinking. Yeah, I can get how this could be a daily drinker. It’s inexpensive and tasty. I’m glad I’ve got another one of these coming.
