This tea has very little of that minty character compared to other teas from this cultivar. It is also very lightly oxidized. I generally like it a lot and it reminds me of a young sheng in taste, mouthfeel, and cha qi.
Dry leaf aroma reminds me of cookies, burdock, parsnip, gingerbread, Brussel sprouts, and fresh bread. Wet leaves, on the other hand, smell like stone fruits and wood.
The taste is refreshing, savoury, vegetal, and mineral with a grapefruit bitterness, but also floral and spicy qualities. Some of the flavours are like gai lan or citrus zest. The aftertaste is cooling and protracted with hints of mint and quinine. I also like the thick and creamy mouthfeel.
