2015 Premium Shou Mei White Tea Cake 350g (12.3oz), Free Tea Knife, Beautiful Gift Packaging

This is a good quality tea cake. Cheaper cakes have a lot of stems, but this had very few. I included a picture of some of the tea separated from the cake. Brews up golden colored. It kinda tastes like a fall morning smells. Woodsy, sweet, earthy and raisin like sweetness. I brewed it Gung Fu style, I used 10 grams in a 200ml Gaiwan and got 8 infusions on 1st session that were all tasty and strong enough. I'm sure 10-12 infusions not out of the question. I'd buy it again for sure.

A reasonable price with a real jujube aroma taste. Fast delivery 👍

I cannot find a single negative in this tea. For the price to weight, it's on par. It has fairly in tact leaves. The cake isn't packed too tight (which results in a tight middle section that usually is destroyed). It is a beautiful golden liqueur that is mellow while also being very flavorful and dare I say, savory. It has notes of sweet hay with no vegetal notes to speak of. Flash gaiwan brews rendered 7 wonderful steeps and a longer teapot/infuser steep rendered similar pleasant results. There are very few buds in it with quite a few thick stems. Usually stems produce bitterness, but I can honestly say there was none that jumped out at me. At this price, you aren't getting a ultra premium, and being shou mei it isn't AAA tea. But it right where it needs to be in quality and price.
