Xiang Pian

This was a surprise gift from my parent-in-laws. It was packaged in a nice cardboard box. The tea leaves are whole and loose with a nice light fragrance. Most probably hand picked leaves. So quality should be quite ok.

Only a single short rinse to loosen and cleanse the tea leaves. The first brew is nice and flowery with a light amber liquor. I found the tea a bit sweet with a tint of bitterness at the end, the flowery fragrance is exceptionally strong which i found pleasant. This tea is easy on the palate, however to me it does not have enough body and depth.

All in all, an easy drinking tea which even the uninitiated will still enjoy.
