2013 Gua Feng Zhai

Soft, malty, ethereal

Honey, malty sweetness, embedded in barnyard/mushroom notes

Starts sweet and with an intruguing mushroom taste that I really like, mouthfeel is oily „sticky“, malty body and a comfy honey sweetness, low bitterness, no astringency, tastes and feels very soft, qi is not pushy at all, leaves an ethereal impression, after few steeps, the original honey and malt body fades into a thinner, watery texture with a berry-like sweetness, reminiscent of overly-chewed gum losing its flavor. Feels good.

Ethereal, and well sourced
