Seems I am the first to review this one. Hope I can get it right. Unwrapping it this little cake is pretty well compressed. I got out the tea needle and pulled out 9 grams to start with.
I rinsed it for about 10 seconds and then did a 15 second steep as per the brewing instructions. The aroma is fresh grass and asparagus . It brewed a pale yellow cup from the yixing. It seems to be "medium " bodied that has the good mouthfeel to it. It gives citrus, wood and some Ku Wei to it. This will seem to slide over the tongue to the back of your mouth to where the sweet side of this one comes out. Easy to drink and wonderful leaf that I pulled out to see. Big and strong and very full.
Mandala another great tea!
I would say best to gong fu this one as I think more complexities will continue to come through. I only have done 2 so far but many more to come.

Now I wish I had ordered some of this with my recent Mandala order
That happens anytime I order with mandala…. “Doh I was going to get that too….”
Looks like Mandala order on a horizon. I really really liked Autumn Song.
@Sil – it happens to me a LOT
@boychick – I got some of that Autumn Sing!!! I can’t wait to try it
My same was from cake. Did you get a cake or Mao cha? I wonder if they taste differently.
Same=sample.
I have to get the Autumn Song too, sounds really nice!
