Just drank a 2017 Yiwu Gao Shan Maocha from KingTeaMall. It's really fruity and sweet in the beginning with touches of mild bitterness that somehow reminds me of hops from a Pale Ale. It is such a nice tea
Agreed. I don't normally enjoy young Yiwu, but this one responds rather well to being pushed. Consdering getting some more before it sells out.Flavor Hedonist wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 2:58 amJust drank a 2017 Yiwu Gao Shan Maocha from KingTeaMall.

About to revisit Lao Man E 2014 from Tea Urchin.

Agreed. He has done a good job sourcing them. I like the one with the wild tea in it.Flavor Hedonist wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 5:10 amI was actually careful with it. I'll try to push it harder next time. And, you should! His teas are really good.
Yesterday was 2016 Tuhao from W2T as part of my ongoing #waronsamples this month.
Maybe the first tea from them that I enjoyed, though it didn't last that long for me. (I push my young sheng a lot).
Overall I think the W2T house style just isn't for me. Granted I haven't tried their very top tier stuff, but at those prices I'd rather be buying something older, which I know I enjoy far more.

2013 ‘Fangyuan’ Bulang Gushu ((green)teaguru) (5g/80ml gaiwan)
Intensely fruity flavor of ripe white peaches/apricot with a more complex fruity aroma. Delicate kuwei with little astringency and somewhat dry, edgy mouthfeel; light but deep throatiness with a bit of huigan.
Thumbs up on the fruit but the structure leaves me wanting; I'll try one of my clay pots next time.

2009 Naka from LiquidProust: this is probably the most enjoyable $50 cake I’ve had in awhile. Hints of receding smoke, camphor/minty and pleasant bitterness. It’s definitely a bargain cake that I regret only buying 2 of.
