Tasting notes

• wet leaves have a sweet scent, similar to Shou Mei Aged 3 Years but with something else underlying it
• first steep light golden liquor, reminiscent of white tea
• slightly bitter up front with the sweet, floral ish notes in the after taste
• second steep was a darker golden colour
• much more bitter on subsequent steeps
• there's a hint of some underlying flavour but I can't identify it.
• overall this was drinkable, but not something I would reach for
