“Blehhh. Potent in all the wrong ways. 5 flash steeps. First tasted of absolutely nothing. Next 4 were horribly bitter and astringent with no semblance of beauty. Made me feel woozy on the 3rd steep...” Read full tasting note

A new version of our 2015 blend, the 2019 If You’re Reading This.
The soup is smooth, with a sweet floral and fruity huigan [returning sweetness] that lasts long after the session is over. This is an adjusted version from the original blend, but has a majority of the same base material, with the addition of two new regions.

Each cake is 200 grams.
