it would definitely be sad to waste precious DYL with poor brewing technique!

Was it as delicious as it looks?

I heard that the 2025 harvest had perfect weather conditions, and the taste difference was apparent!

I was curious since a lot of the high elevation gardens have been decommissioned by the government... according to AI, the 104k label in the name is just marketing since the actual elevation he lists is lower than what could be considered 104k :D

Having Lao Jun Mei from Four Seasons Tea Co.

Tasty although there isn’t an underlying brightness/tingling that I like. It was more grounded

The 'Premium Dong Ding' from Gaoshan / Taiwan Oolong Joy from earlier today - nice tea, feels well-integrated with a long aftertaste.

(the leaves are more of a deep, dark green than the photo might suggest)
