While not something I'd reach for often I understand the appeal. The leaves are impressively large and need room to unfurl. The color is bright vibrant yellow/ green. Vegetal and almost popcorn aroma. Sweet vegetal on the front every so slightly dry and not quite bitter on the tail end.

Totally unique. These are huge beautiful leaves with a few yellow ones (which I love). I would say it is like a huang pian oolong, but I have had huang pian oolong, and this tea does not quite have the floral punch of a huang pian rou gui, or a Dan Cong huang pian. Do not drink thinking of oolong. Rather, it begins as a smooth and floral large leaf *green* tea like Gui Pian and drinks like a smooth version of a green. After about the 3-4 steeps the taste gives way to a true huang pian: golden honey-geranium. And then it steeps many times with that long-lasting huang pian mellow-gold. No caffeine feel for me. No buds it seems. Perhaps a tiny cha-chi, but nothing huge. This is the kind of tea I could see becoming a daily-drinker for me.

Sweet, a little bitter in the second steeping, vegetal, and a bit of caramel -huge leaves. I love this for the tasting experience. It’s not heavy at all and has a nice color in the cup.

This tea is really one to write about!
Although it is maybe not a tea for everyone, it is one of my favorites. Why?
Imagine you wake up in the early morning in the middle of the jungle. The sun is shining and when you take a deep breath you smell all kind of plants and vegetables, behind this all a little sweet touch. Following a small road in the jungle you get deeper aroma’s and stronger scents. Veggies and honey? scents and tastes of wilderness…. and when you watch the horizon there is a faint but recognizable taste of fresh oolong.

Delicate, exotic, satisfying, and delicious!
