Quickie Review: If you're reading this it's 2 late by white2tea, sample size.

The leaf aroma was of leafy grape sweetness. Liquor color was a light golden yellow-green. Taste begins with a characteristic young sheng grape leaf sweetness, melding into an oxidized coffee feeling which lends strong body to the profile. Mild coffee-like bitterness and cheek astringency follow, with a semi-sweet and pronounced aftertaste. Later steeps produced more sugary sweetness with extended huigan.
In true white2tea fashion, this tea is a very capable and, more importantly, interesting young sheng with more than enough intrigue to hold your attention. I would definitely buy this tea off of the strength of the sample.
Rating: 1/2.
