A deep and abiding love of Oriental Beauty

A deep and abiding love of Oriental Beauty

Changing my mind on W2T's Huang Pian 2014 as I pack up the old bungalow to move to a slightly better bungalow.

Rather emphatically did not like this W2T sheng when I first opened a small portion of the cake many months ago, and so it is now many months later, and I find I have a serious hankering for a sheng as I am already sweating and cursing under my breath, and packing and making-ready the rental bungalow of six years to move the hell out of....and for the first time that orange wrapper looks like it's actually calling to me and so I gently pry six grams of pretty leaves and (almost) boil 'em up and its perfect. Not sure I should imbibe too much of this stuff in one go and with an empty stomach to boot. Honestly I don't know anything about these teas, but thought I heard a whisper some time back about a stomach-liner-eater. Three steeps in and my tummy feels just fine.
It's good, not subtle but I think the astringency and bitterness in the back of my throat is a good thing, far better than the bile I am having to swallow back while watching a circus-parade of crazy-rental-home-seeking-nutters wander through my half-packed bungalow looking into my linen closets and stink-eyeing the ancient grout.
More tea, please.
