Absolutely phenomenal white tea! Rich, sweet, thick, creamy vanilla/sugarcane (much like YS' Wu Liang Shan raw puerhs), fruity / floral, with honey character very much reminiscent of a pure bud Yunnan black tea. The dry / wet leaf aroma is heaven. Ultra thick body is chewy and feels like drinking pudding. The texture of the tea soup is as soothing

White tea usually gives me more consecutive gong fu style steeps than most other teas, but this one just will not quit no matter what and I usually lose count. Just when I think 'this should be the last one', I get yet another flavorful cup even after a 20+ min long steep. It's a zombie tea for sure.
After trying a sample, I picked up 3 cakes and can't... stop... hoarding for the long term haha.
While trying to research more about this brand I saw another vendor lists this cake at a gouging price nearly triple what YS offers it for and for the same harvest/pressing year. I appreciate YS' honesty! This tea certainly does have that 'expensive' character to it though haha. Highly recommended! Read LessRead less about Absolutely phenomenal white tea! Rich,
