White tea from Fuding, Fujian. Produced as cake in 2011, aged in Guangzhou.

Wet leaves very fragrant, old stone cellar walls, moss; old leather chairs big time! Same for the empty cup, almost cloying. Some honey, too. Beautiful colour! Golden. Nose is odd, vegetable broth? Yeah, Rosenkohl, light honey again. Quite light and sweet in taste. Very smooth, decent body, light honey and pine resin. Resin note (not cloying though) becomes stronger as it chills. Also a very faint minerality, and some canned peaches fluid.

Wet leaves smell really spicy, empty cup quite fascinating. Old cognac, cellar, tobacco leaves. Nose has a grape-like quality; brew surprisingly thin and light. Peach-fruit in the back. Body slim, chalky. Some paper.

Body becomes thicker as it cools.

Weird nose again. More martime wood now (Fuding is a coastal region). But taste is a lot more pronounced (maybe because it's the second brew and it had time to open?). Dried roses as fuck, quite dense and tasty! Light honey again, Akazien? Some darker suggestions too, cacao somewhere in the back.

I think it works on SI channel. Certainly puts things in motion, not so much a centering tea.

Not a tea I like too much.
