You are totally spot on with your review of this tea. By some weird coincidence I have just been getting through some Bai Sha Xi “Run Zhi Fu” Fu Zhuan tea from Scott @yunnansourcing.
It’s definitely like nothing else and the honey notes only start coming into their own after steeping number 3. Very easy drinking, so much so I got totally “heady” tea drunk on it, the cha qi hits way up there in the head.
I pushed it further and boiled the leaves on 5th steeping with great results. An amazing and interesting tea that sits somewhere between Liu Bao and old raw Puerh
Thanks Jonny. Yes a unique category that fits somewhere in the middle of a few others. Certainly worth checking out for anyone not put off by a little mold.
