Favorite Ba Xian I've had so far!
Lovely perfume and floral notes with the typical mountain rockness in the after taste and mouth feel. Really complex. Not a tea I would have been able to enjoy years ago. Finicky to brew. Lower temps have given me the best results.

Amazing tea well worth the money!
This tea tastes better when aged at least 1 year! (same year tea is a 4*) Smell: almost non-existent dry smell, brewed smell of fragrant flowers (magnolia?) Tasting notes: flowery/fruity, sweet finish. After many brews the somewhat bitter notes disappear and an immediate and longing floral sweetness is revealed 1st brew: savory tree bark, pleasantly pulling mouthfeel 1.6g, 95+C, 30s->+15s

Wonderful dan cong!
Floral, even zingy, but in a very round and balanced way, not too sharp on the palate. A mouthful of flowery aftertaste lingers on. I found another favourite dan cong. Thank you!
