Thanks for sending me this. As usual, I test the teas twice. The first time allows me to understand the tea characters. The second time is actually decoding and enjoying it. I like this tea a lot. This is my first time to brew Baozhong. The tea leaves are green, fresh and healthy looking, however, there are some broken leaves which may be caused by packaging or traveling. The smell from dry leaves are great. I used 100 census degree water on it. It held up very well. At first, the fragrant is similar to the high grade Tie Kwan Yin teas. I have 4 confusions in 3 hours, I could have done more but decided to stop there. The color changes from light yellow to shiny yellow and back to light green. The taste is first subtle, getting stronger after each cup and produced a very nice aroma after taste. As to my last cup of the 4 confusions, the taste is light but the after taste still last for a long time. I agreed with you that this tea would be a great alternate to the expensive high mountain oolong tea or Tie Kwan Yin from Mainland.<BR/>Thanks again for searching all the best tea.<BR/>Doan-Trang Tran<BR/>http://teazen.blogspot.com/Doan-Trang Tranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450451536358307968noreply@blogger.com
