Xin Chải White Spring 2025

Nice interesting floral note, a light sweetness, flavour becomes mild herbal wheatgrass, I thought there was some light bitterness on the 5th steep, maybe? (5x5sec), light barley tea, slight vegetal sweetness on the 6th steep, it just keeps going, lightly on. This was one of two samples with a cake of 2025 Lào Cai white tea. From Viet Sun.

2005 Liming 7540 Raw Pu-erh

Light flavour with a growing bitterness with each sip. Some smokiness thats not over powering. The light bitterness already creating a lot of saliva with a little sweetness/cooling?. 4th plus steeps it feels settled out, bitterness isnt increasing but becomes broader, theres is a tanin dryness. This is a very enjoyable daily drinker. Bigger brews really bring out the smoke.
