In the spirit of "posting updated impressions of the same tea", the first session in eight months with the BSX's 2022 "Junzeyuan" QLC today.

I don't reach for this often for the simple reason that it needs more time. My experience is that these fairly classical QLC recipes in terms of leaf grade and processing need around 4 years polish off their roughest edges and have their biggest milestone after around 8 years.

But as last time, I think this has good promise. Material feels like a big notch up from BSX regular line (and even some of their "special" lines, of which there's been a lot of strange stuff hitting the market recently), energy is good, camphor is waiting to break through the tartness that's currently there.

Been a while

Drinking 2008 golden flowers shu liu bao from three bears tea. Speaking of which,
Anyone know what happened to them? I believe they were going to open back up in March or April but it didn’t happen.
