Aroma of dry leaves with distinct notes of dried plums, coffee beans and dark plum. The warmed leaves add a hint of nutty sweetness and enhance the plum notes. The taste shows a slight warming, grassy note (on the first pour), which then covers itself with a floral-sweet tartness. The aroma of the bowl fills all around with its floral sweetness. Under the lid of the gaiwan there was plenty of creamy buttery filling and macadamia nuts. The verdict is in: strong Qi tea intoxicates the body and refreshes the mind. A wonderful, thoughtful tea for those who seek distinct aromas and flavors.
We recommend water at about 80°C if you want more oils and flowers, or about 85°C if you want a richer flavor. The vessel is gaiwan or a Yixing teapot. The amount of tea is about 6-7 g per 100 ml.
