Wow. So,
this is what a really good Yiwu tastes like.
Now I know. And I won't quickly forget it either. Thanks to a generous sample of this apparently impossible to buy or find tea from an amazing source, I am slowly working on the second day of steeping this marvelous brew. Clarity, bright qi, taste profiles that are far and beyond anything I've had before; there is camphor and grass, sweet fruit and raisins? Brewing it light in a 100ml Lin's pot using 4 grams at just barely under boiling, this tea just changes with each subsequent flash-brewed steep and continues to impress and take me on journeys to both dark, shadowy places I'll never see as well as to well-lit forests resplendent with warm soil, flowers and sunshine that tastes like something infinite when you lick your own skin.
It's beyond talking about really. It's just really, really good. The energy it gave me was quite distinct from other tea-highs, drunks, buzzes and mellows I've experienced. It is possible I just had a truly intense high quality qi for the first time. I can tell you I was up all night, and very happy to be doing so, devouring crossword puzzles and over-grooming the poor dog who grew tired of my attentions long before I was finished making her look fabulous.
I'd tell you to go get some, but you can't. Serious bummer for
you.
(No pictures of the brews, sorry. This tea deserved my TOTAL ATTENTION, not stopping to take pics of how it looked! Forgive me! I also didn't want to torture my readers any further with images of something most of them won't ever get their lovely little mitts on!)
