Looks really green w/yellow soup still at 10 years on. I get that it is dry stored, did you say how long you have had this tea? Just asking because I’m sitting here sampling a 2014 Bingdao, interesting you happen to mentioned that region here, and honestly the aging, or lack thereof, looks the same with what I’m drinking.
Thanks for the comment. The tea is still somewhat green, but it brews up closer to an orange. It’s honestly mellowed out quite a bit and while it still gets astringent, most of its youthful punchiness is gone at this point.
