 Tea Tasting Notes:  Yesheng gushu hongcha from w2t

Liking this quite a lot - about 6-7G 120ml at 200F.  Sweet, “stone fruit” as I saw in a review - wet leaves at first smelled like freaking peach or plum.

Will try 212 and see what happens.  Kinda crazy how the slightly higher temp changes the tea.  It’s not intense, but now it’s more bitter and closer to “black tea” tasting.  Will go back to 200 - prefer that by a long shot.

W2t sells this stuff in cakes.  Depending on how future sessions go sticking to 200F, it might be worth getting one.
